HI-96800 Refractometer for Refractive Index and Brix
The HI-96800 measures the refractive index in aqueous solutions. Readings can also be displayed with sucrose temperature compensation (nD20) or % Brix.
Choose from five sugar refractometers to meet the requirements of the food industry. The HI-96800 Refractive Index/Brix, HI-96801 % Brix (sucrose), HI-96802 Fructose, Hi-96803 Glucose, and HI-96804 Invert Sugar digital refractometers are rugged, portable and water-resistant for measurements in the laboratory or field.
The HI-96800 measures the refractive index to determine the % Brix of sugar in aqueous solutions.
Quick and easy to use it is ideal for analysing the sugar content in a wide range of food products including fruit, energy drinks, puddings, tofu, jams, honey, soups and sauces.
