Product Description
Measuring refractive index on liquids, plastics, films and glass calls for an instrument that combines precision with temperature control. This benchtop Abbe refractometer reads both refractive index and Brix and connects to a circulating bath, giving QC and research labs dependable results across a wide variety of samples.
This listing is for catalog number C10: Abbe Refractometer. Place the sample on the prism, look through the focusable eyepiece and turn the control knob until the shadowline centers on the crosshairs, then read the oversized scale. A color compensator dial sharpens the borderline, and an LCD shows prism temperature. Circulator nozzles on both prisms allow temperature control from 0 to 70°C. The prism housing is stainless steel, and the instrument calibrates with water. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Heathrow Scientific products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
