for determining the sugar content / measurement parameters Brix, refractive index / 0...50% Brix / 1.3330 ... 1.4200 nD / with temperature compensation
The most convenient way to determine how much sugar is in a liquid is with a digital Brix sugar refractometer. The digital Brix sugar refractometer from PCE Instruments is a hand-held measuring device that has been specially designed to carry out a precise analysis of sugar-containing solutions. In this way, with the support of the Brix Sugar Refractometer, the user can carry out an uncomplicated quality control and check the sugar concentration in a liquid.
The Brix unit of measurement is mainly used in the fruit industry and determines the relative density of liquids. The Brix Sugar Refractometer is a precision measuring instrument based on measuring the refractive index of a liquid and guarantees maximum reliability even under difficult measuring conditions. With the help of the Brix refractometer, the user can already measure the sugar content in a liquid with a small amount of sample. In order to obtain a meaningful result, it is sufficient to trickle four to five drops into the funnel-shaped stainless steel recess of the measuring device. A prism is mounted in the sample well, and the sugar content is measured in this way by means of light refraction. 
The glass prism of the digital Brix sugar refractometer, which is enclosed in the stainless steel recess, can be cleaned quickly and easily before and after the measurement and is sealed with a plastic prism cover. The Brix Sugar Refractometer was designed to protect the glass prism from damage. The convenient three-button operation guarantees user-friendly operation. In order to save the battery of the Brix sugar refractometer, the digital Brix refractometer is equipped with an automatic switch-off. When not in use, the Brix sugar refractometer switches off automatically after one minute. A few drops of distilled water are enough to calibrate the Brix sugar refractometer yourself at the push of a button.
A Brix sugar refractometer is an optical measuring device that allows the user to determine the mixing ratio of numerous different solutions. The areas of application of the Brix sugar refractometer range from fruit harvesting to fruit sorting and appraisal to quality control.
