This digital Brix refractometer measures the sugar content of liquid samples across a 0 to 55% Brix range with a stated accuracy of ±0.2% Brix and a display resolution of 0.1% Brix. Drop a sample into the measuring tank, close the lid and press MEAS to get a reading in 3 seconds or less, with automatic temperature compensation for samples between 10 and 40°C.
Features and benefits:
- 0 to 55% Brix range with 0.1% Brix resolution - covers fruit juice, drinks, coffee and other sugar solutions in one handheld unit
- Accuracy of ±0.2% Brix - check against pure water, which should read 0.0% before use
- Reading in 3 seconds or less - quick enough to test several samples in one session
- Automatic temperature compensation for samples from 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F) - temperature is shown on the screen next to the result
- HD anti-glare display - shows the temperature, battery indicator, %Brix scale, test result and status
- Simple two-button control - ON/OFF MEAS to measure and CAL/SET to zero the instrument with pure water
- Type-C charging and a compact 105 x 50 x 25mm body at 80g - easy to keep in a kitchen drawer, lab bench or tool bag
Applications:
- Checking sugar content in fruit juice and fruit at purchase or on the farm
- Measuring Brix in coffee, drinks and other beverages
- Food preparation and home lab sugar checks
- Testing vegetables, crops and sugar water solutions in school and workshop settings
Note: Test pure water before every session, it should read 0.0% Brix (±0.2%); if not, run the zero setting with pure water first. Fill at least half the depth of the sample tank, and clean the tank before measuring and before zeroing. The unit reads honey water solutions within 0 to 55% Brix but cannot measure highly viscous raw honey syrup. Error codes: Err1 zero setting needed, Err2 out of range, Err3 too little solution, Err4 drop in water.

A: A refractometer measures how much light bends as it passes through a liquid and turns that into a reading. This digital model shows the result as % Brix, a measure of sugar content, from 0 to 55%.. Q: How do you use a digital refractometer? A: Clean the sample tank and switch the unit on, drop in the sample so it fills at least half the tank depth, close the lid and press MEAS. The reading appears within 3 seconds.. Q: How do I zero this refractometer with pure water? A: Clean the tank, power on and drop pure water into the sample dish. Press CAL/SET, then press CAL/SET again to confirm, and the display shows 0.0% Brix when it has worked.. Q: Can it measure honey? A: It can measure honey water solutions within 0 to 55% Brix. It cannot measure highly viscous raw honey syrup.. Q: What temperature can the sample be? A: Samples and surroundings should be between 10 and 40°C (50 to 104°F), which is the range covered by the automatic temperature compensation.. Q: What does Err3 mean on the display? A: Err3 means there is too little solution in the tank. Add more sample so it fills at least half the depth and measure again..
