Product Description
Food and beverage labs that handle more than one sugar type can measure them all with a single digital instrument. Six built-in scales cover dextran, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose and sucrose, so technicians can select the right calibration instead of converting from a generic Brix value. Results appear as clear digits on a large LCD.
This listing is for catalog number 48103: Digital Refractometer, MDX-103, Sugars, 6 scales. After zeroing with distilled water, add sample to the stainless steel prism well and the unit reads using a 589.3 nm LED with automatic temperature compensation. A continuous mode captures 15 consecutive readings, and the removable grip and prism cover make cleanup simple. The kit includes a hard shell case, disposable pipette, AAA battery and manual. LIGHT LABS stocks the Heathrow Scientific line, so racks, replacement parts and consumables are easy to reorder.
