Digital Refractometer ST335A | 0-35% Brix | ±0.2% Brix | Handheld

The ST335A is a handheld digital refractometer that measures the sugar concentration of a liquid on a 0 to 35% Brix scale, with a resolution of 0.1% Brix and an accuracy of ±0.2% Brix. A drop of sample goes on the prism and the large LCD shows the Brix value, the sample temperature and the refractive index together, with a reading in under 3 seconds. Features and benefits: - 0 to 35% Brix range with 0.1% Brix resolution - covers fruit juice, soft drinks, liquid sugar and similar sugar solutions - Accuracy of ±0.2% Brix - tight enough for routine checks of juice, wine must and brewing worts - 3 in 1 LCD - Brix, temperature and refractive index (1.333 to 1.426) shown at the same time - Automatic temperature compensation from 10°C to 40°C - reduces errors caused by the sample or room temperature - Reading in under 3 seconds - quick enough to test a row of samples without waiting - Dust protection cover with non-slip sides - the prism stays covered between uses and the case is easy to hold and wipe clean - Meas, Zero and power keys, battery level display and automatic shutdown - simple to operate and kind to the batteries Applications: - Sugar content checks on fruit juice, soft drinks and carbonated drinks - Brix readings on wine must and beer wort in home and small-scale brewing - Sugar content checks on fruit and crops in horticulture and growing - Teaching and demonstration of refractive index and Brix in school and college labs In the box: 1 x refractometer, 1 x instruction manual, 2 x dropper pipettes. Batteries are not included. Note: Mix the liquid evenly before measuring and keep the prism clean between samples. The unit runs on 3 x 1.5V AAA batteries, which you need to supply. Operating temperature is 10°C to 40°C. This is a sugar (Brix) instrument, not a direct alcohol meter.
