PCE Instruments PCE-DRB 2 Fructose Refractometer

Waterproof fructose refractometer for determining sugar content. Measurement parameters: Brix, dextran, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, and refractive index (1.3330 - 1.5177 nD). The digital fructose refractometer is a waterproof handheld device for measuring sugar content with a measurement range of 0 to 90% Brix. The measurement result and the temperature of the medium being measured are displayed in two lines on the large LCD of the digital fructose refractometer. Depending on the type of fructose refractometer, the measurement of sucrose, dextran, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, and refractive index can be quickly and easily performed with just four to five drops of sample liquid. The applications of the fructose refractometer range from fruit harvesting to fruit sorting and assessment, as well as quality control. Additional areas of use can be found in the food industry for monitoring ingredients and compliance with various standards.

Construction and operation: The funnel-shaped stainless steel ring largely protects the glass prism of the fructose refractometer from mechanical damage. Additionally, the stainless steel ring supports the application of the sample liquid. The internal light source allows measurements under artificial light conditions without distorting the measurement values. To improve the measurement result, the digital fructose refractometer can perform an average measurement. In this case, the same sample is measured 15 times, and the average value is displayed. Thanks to the three buttons, simple operation is ensured.
