The 0-95% Brix Abbe Refractometer is an essential optical instrument designed for the rapid and precise measurement of soluble solids concentration, primarily sugars, in a liquid sample. Its defining feature is the extensive 0-95% Brix scale, making it exceptionally versatile for industries ranging from food and beverages (juices, syrups, soft drinks) to agriculture and chemical processing.

Operation is based on the principle of critical refraction. A small sample is placed between the main prism and its illuminating cover. As light passes through, its refraction angle changes with the sample’s density and composition. The user looks through the eyepiece to align the boundary line in the field of view, and the corresponding Brix value is read directly from the scale.

Key advantages include its broad measurement range, high accuracy for a handheld device, and straightforward operation. Many models feature automatic temperature compensation (ATC) to correct readings to a standard 20°C, ensuring reliability. The integrated dual scale often allows for simultaneous reading of Brix and refractive index.

Robustly constructed for laboratory and in-field use, this refractometer is a fundamental tool for quality control, product development, and process monitoring, providing immediate results crucial for maintaining consistency and standards in production.
