Digital Refractometer for Brix Measurement in Food Accurately report the sugar content of aqueous food solutions as % Brix with the HI96801 Digital Refractometer. Simple two button operation and 1.5 second response time make this digital refractometer the obvious choice for Brix measurement in foods. The sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well are easy to clean and all readings are temperature compensated. Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)Sealed stainless steel well with high-grade optical prism made of flint glassGreat for any sized food laboratory. The HI96801 portable refractometer converts the refractive index of a food sample to % brix. This conversion is based on the tables found in the ICUMSA Methods Book (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) that documents the changes in refractive index with temperature for a percent by weight sucrose solution. The HI96801 is ideal for the analysis of fruits, energy drinks, puddings, soy milk, juices, jam, marmalade, honey, soups, jelly, tofu and condiments. The HI96801 is an easy to use tool for measuring sugar in food samples in the field or in the lab. Designed for food sugar analysisTemperature Compensation algorithms based on sucrose solution0 to 85% Brix range with an accuracy of ± 0.2% One-point calibration Calibrate with distilled or deionized water Small sample size Sample size can be as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl) Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) Samples automatically compensated for temperature variations Quick, accurate results Readings are displayed in approximately 1.5 seconds Dual-level LCD The dual-level LCD displays measurement and temperature readings simultaneously Stainless steel sample well Easy to clean and corrosion-resistant Battery indicators Battery percent level remaining at startup and low battery indicator Automatic shut-off To conserve battery life the meter shuts off automatically after three minutes of non-use Stainless steel sample well Easy to clean and corrosion-resistant IP65 water resistant protection Water resistant ABS plastic casing designed to perform under laboratory and field conditions.

The consistency of measurements is vital to me for comparative analysis, and this delivers. It uses a smaller sample size than some of the smaller units I've tried, which is very nice. I haven't done a lot of cross-comparison to verify accuracy, but the precision is excellent, with retested samples always getting the same reading, and drifting sample composition giving expected moving results. The lens could be easier to clean between samples, but it works.
