Overview
The HI96813 Brix and Latent Alcohol Refractive Index converts the Refractive index to the Sucrose concentration in percent by weight,% Brix (also known as ° Brix). The theoretical basis for this conversion is the saccharide analysis method provided in the book of the International Committee on Uniform Analytical Methods for Sugar. Since the saccharide in grape juice is mostly fructose and glucose does not have Sucrose, the refractometer's glucose reading in the measurement of wine is often referred to as "Apparent Brix".
Features

4. Waterproof, suitable for laboratory and field measurement
5. Fast and accurate measurement, 1.5 seconds fast display 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 room, 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
The HI96813 Brix and Potential Alcohol Refractive Analyzer converts the refractive index of a sample to Sucrose concentration in weight percent,% Brix (also known as ° Brix). The conversion used is based on the ICUMSA Method Manual (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis). Since most of the sugars in grape juice are fructose and glucose, not Sucrose, the reading is sometimes referred to as "Apparent Brix".
Steps
1. A little calibrating with distillation or deionized water
2. Add 2 drops of sample to the sample chamber
3. Press the button to read the measurement result in about 1.5 seconds
4. No automatic shutdown for three minutes
Notice
• Use distillation or deionized water for calibrating
• Minimum sample size of 100 µL (fully covering the prism)
• The temperature compensation range is 10-40 ° C (50-104 ° F)
• Pay attention to low battery reminders to ensure accurate readings
• Shell Protection Rating is IP65, waterproof design
• Battery life is about 5000 readings with 9V battery
