Overview
The HI96812 Juice and Wine Sweetness Refractometer is a refractometer from the HANNA brand. It uses Baume as the Measurement unit for the measurement of saccharide content in grape juice. The instrument converts the% Brightness reading to Baume, which is approximately equal to 1.8% Brightness, which can be roughly calculated as 1% wine accuracy under full fermentation of the wine.
Features
1. Dual LCD display with temperature readings displayed below the measurement value.
2. ATC, automatic temperature compensation.
3. BEPS, low battery reminder to ensure accurate and effective reading.
4. Waterproof, suitable for laboratory and on-site measurement.
5. Fast and accurate measurement, 1.5 seconds to quickly display the measurement results.
6. A little calibrated, with distillation or deionized water calibrated.
7. Micro sample, only 2 drops of sample are required.
8. Automatic shutdown, no automatic shutdown for three minutes.
9. Stainless steel sample chamber, easy to clean and anti-corrosion.
10. Easy to operate, just drop the sample button reading, simple and fast.
11. ABS heat shrinkable plastic carrying case.
Principle
Practical measurement of the refractive index is simple and fast, providing vintners with a standard method of sugar content analysis. Samples are measured after simple user calibrating with deionized water or distillation water, and the instrument measures the refractive index of grapes in seconds. These digital refractometers eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers and are the choice for fast, reliable measurement.
Standards
The official analytical methods of the International Association for Official Analytical Testing
Steps
1. Use distillation or deionized water to calibrate a little.
Add 2 drops of sample to cover the prism completely.
3. Press the button to read the measurement result in about 1.5 seconds.
Notice
• Use distillation or deionized water to calibrate before use.
The minimum sample size is 100 µL to ensure complete coverage of the prism.
• The instrument has an automatic shutdown function, which automatically shuts down after three minutes of use.
• Pay attention to low battery reminders to ensure accurate and effective readings.
• The sample chamber is made of stainless steel and needs to be kept clean and anti-corrosion.
