They may be used as either benchtop or hand-held refractometers
The Refracto 30PX has an optical glass prism held by a stainless steel ring. The Refracto 30GS has a sapphire prism held by a ring of hard gold-plated brass. Sapphire has a higher refractive index and better thermal conductivity than glass. For this reason, the Refracto 30GS has an extended measuring range and registers sample temperature more quickly.
Simply place a drop of sample directly onto the prism or immerse the sensor in the sample. Temperature compensation coefficient is programmable for up to ten different samples. Units can store up to 1,100 measurement results that can be transmitted to an external printer or computer via infrared interface (PC software included). Backlit LCD displays temperature selection in °C or °F. Calibration is automatic and based on deionized water. Units of measurement include refractive index (nD), nD temperature compensated, % Brix, HFCS42, HFCS55, T.A. 1990, °KMW (Babo), °Baumé, °Oechsle (D, CH), w/w% and v/v% for isopropanol, and user-defined units.
