Digital Refractometer

Introduction

The Digital Refractometer is a precise, fast, and reliable instrument for measuring Brix and Baumé in liquids. Designed for winemakers, brewers, syrup producers, and food manufacturers, it delivers accurate results in less than 2 seconds using only 2–3 drops of sample. Featuring automatic temperature compensation and a dual-level digital LCD readout, the Digital Refractometer ensures easy, repeatable measurements. Its robust stainless steel sample cell, IP65-rated casing, and simple calibration make it ideal for both laboratory and field use. Compact, portable, and user-friendly, this digital refractometer combines convenience, speed, and accuracy for professional applications.

Design features

• Fast, accurate results with digital dual level LCD readout.
• Easy measurement with just 2-3 drops of sample needed and results less than 2 seconds.
• Simple one-point calibration using distilled or deionized water.
• Easy to clean, stainless steel sample well with unit rated to IP65 as “dust tight” and protected against water jets.
• Battery percent level indicator with automatic shut-off (batteries included).
• Ideal for winemakers, brewers, syrup producers, food producers and many other applications.
• MA883 converts the Brix readings to °Baumé based on the table found in the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International, 18Th Edition.
• 1 °Baumé is approximately equal to 1.8% Brix, and 1 °Baumé is roughly equivalent to 1 % alcohol when the wine is fully fermented.
