The ST335A is a handheld digital refractometer that reads sugar concentration from 0 to 35% Brix in under 3 seconds, with a resolution of 0.1% Brix and a stated accuracy of ±0.2% Brix. A large LCD shows the Brix value, the sample temperature and the refractive index together, so a single drop of liquid gives three readings at once.
Features and benefits:
- Brix range of 0 to 35% with 0.1% Brix steps: suited to juices, soft drinks, syrups and other sugary liquids
- Reading time under 3 seconds: quick enough to check several samples in a row
- Automatic temperature compensation across 10°C to 40°C: reduces the error caused by warm or cool samples
- 3 in 1 large LCD: Brix, temperature and refractive index (1.333 to 1.426) shown at the same time
- Dust protection cover: closes over the prism and wipes clean between samples
- Non-slip sides and a compact body measuring 113.15 x 56.3 x 26.1mm: sits steady in one hand
- Simple Meas and Zero buttons with an on/off key: set zero on a clean sample, then measure
Applications:
- Checking sugar content in fruit juice and soft drinks
- Ripeness and sugar checks on fruit and crops
- Syrup and liquid sugar concentration checks in food and drink preparation
- Brewing and wort sugar checks
- Teaching refractive index and concentration measurement in schools and labs
In the box:
- 1 x refractometer
- 1 x manual
- 1 x box
- Dropper pipettes (the listing text says 1, the product picture shows 2)
Note: Mix the liquid evenly before measuring, and place a clean sample on the prism after zeroing. Three AAA batteries are needed and are not included. Use between 10°C and 40°C ambient temperature.

Q: What is a refractometer? A: A refractometer measures how much light bends as it passes through a liquid, which relates to how much dissolved sugar it holds. This one shows that as a Brix reading from 0 to 35% along with the refractive index.. Q: How do you use a digital refractometer? A: Press Zero with a clean prism, place a few drops of evenly mixed sample on it, close the cover and press Meas. The Brix, temperature and refractive index appear on the LCD in under 3 seconds.. Q: Does this refractometer compensate for temperature? A: Yes, it has automatic temperature compensation over 10°C to 40°C. It reads the sample temperature and corrects the Brix value for it.. Q: Can I use it to measure sugar in fruit juice? A: Yes, juice, soft drinks and other sugary liquids within 0 to 35% Brix suit it. Mix the sample well before putting it on the prism.. Q: How accurate is the ST335A? A: Brix accuracy is stated as ±0.2% Brix with 0.1% Brix resolution. Temperature accuracy is stated as ±0.5°C..
