Product Description
When samples carry low to moderate sugar levels, a scale with finer spacing makes small differences easier to see. These handheld Brix refractometers are sized for ranges up to 10, 20 or 50% Brix, giving technicians, growers and food producers a portable optical tool for quick concentration checks without batteries or bench equipment.
This listing is for catalog number 43012: Handheld Refractometer, BTX-20, 0 to 20% Brix, ATC. Readings are taken by placing a drop of sample on the prism, closing the daylight plate and viewing the light-dark boundary against the scale through the eyepiece. Models are offered in 0 to 10%, 0 to 20% and 0 to 50% Brix ranges, and the 0 to 20% range is also available with automatic temperature compensation for use where room temperature varies. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order and keep your lab stocked.
