Digital Sugar Refractometer

It is suitable for determining the content of soluble solids in fruits, vegetable products and fresh fruits and vegetables. The determination result is expressed as a percentage of sucrose mass. If the product contains non-sucrose substances, the determination result is an approximate value PAL-105 (orange) Accuracy: Brix±0.5% Temperature:±1℃ Resolving Power:Brix:0.5% Temperature:0.1℃ Measuring Range:Brix:0.0~53.0% Temperature:10~100℃ Use temperature:10-40℃ Batteries:2*AAA 1.5V Batteries(not include ) Measurement Time:3 seconds Size:130*55*25mm Net weight:about 100g.

A digital sugar refractometer is a specialized electronic device used to measure the sugar content (Brix) of liquid samples, such as fruit juices, beverages, honey, and other solutions. Unlike traditional analog refractometers that rely on a prism and a visual scale, digital sugar refractometers use advanced technology to provide precise and accurate readings of the sugar concentration. Here’s a description of the typical features and components of a digital sugar refractometer:

1. Display Screen: The refractometer is equipped with a digital display screen, which shows the measured Brix value in a numerical format. The screen may also display additional information, such as temperature compensation and measurement units.
2. Measurement Unit Selection: Most digital sugar refractometers allow users to choose between different measurement units, including Brix (°Bx), specific gravity (SG), or other relevant units, depending on the application and user preferences.
3. Measurement Range: The device has a specific measurement range, indicating the minimum and maximum Brix values it can measure accurately. Some refractometers are designed for general-purpose use, while others may have a narrower or broader range for specialized applications.
4. Sample Application Area: The sample application area is usually a small well or prism located on the top of the device. This is where the liquid sample is placed for measurement. After applying the sample, the refractometer’s sensor analyzes the sample to determine its sugar concentration.
5. Measurement Method: Digital sugar refractometers use various measurement methods, such as the total internal reflection principle, to determine the refractive index of the sample. The refractive index is then converted into the corresponding Brix value using built-in algorithms.
6. Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Many digital refractometers feature automatic temperature compensation, which adjusts the Brix reading based on the sample’s temperature. This feature ensures accurate measurements even when the sample temperature varies.
7. Calibration: To maintain accuracy, digital sugar refractometers require periodic calibration. Calibration standards or solutions with known Brix values are used to calibrate the device, ensuring its readings are precise.
8. Power Source: Digital sugar refractometers are typically powered by batteries, which may be rechargeable or replaceable, depending on the model.
9. User-Friendly Interface: The device often features intuitive buttons or touchscreen controls for easy operation. Some models may also have additional functionalities, such as data storage, recall of previous measurements, and data transfer capabilities (e.g., USB or Bluetooth connectivity).

Digital sugar refractometers are widely used in food and beverage industries, agriculture, quality control, and research laboratories. They offer quick and accurate sugar concentration measurements, making them invaluable tools for ensuring product quality, optimizing production processes, and maintaining consistency in various applications.
