Product Description
Checking salt concentration in brines and process solutions becomes a quick, battery-free task with these optical refractometers. A few drops give an immediate percentage reading, helping food processors, picklers and technicians keep brine strength on target without titration or bench instruments. The large, high-contrast scale keeps readings consistent between users.
This listing is for catalog number 43033: Handheld Refractometer, SX-1, 0 to 10% NaCl. The optical glass prism is mounted in an all-metal housing so sample and prism equalize in temperature quickly, while the rubber grip limits warming from the hand. A non-roll stand keeps the unit in place on the bench. Two models are offered: a 0 to 10% NaCl scale with finer resolution and a 0 to 28% NaCl scale for stronger brines. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your bench running smoothly.
Key Features
- Direct NaCl scale – Reads sodium chloride concentration in percent with no conversion.
- Two range options – Choose fine resolution up to 10% or a wider scale to 28%.
- High-contrast graduations – Clear, shaded scale improves reading precision.
- All-metal prism housing – Promotes fast temperature equilibrium for stable readings.
- Grip and stand – Rubber grip blocks hand heat and a non-roll stand keeps the unit secure.
- Complete kit – Includes carrying case, pipette and manual, with a five-year warranty.
