Refractometers are used for the identification of substances and concentration measurement of fluids. Because the refractive index (R.I.) of a solution is proportional to the concentration it is easy to identify the substance or to measure the purity and concentrations of solutions
The Euromex refractometers are calibrated at 20° Celsius. Most refractometers are equipped with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC). Euromex offers analog and digital hand refractometers, tabletop abbe refractometers and gemological refractometers

HANDHELD REFRACTOMETERS
A refractometer is a laboratory or field instrument that measure an index of refraction (refractometry). The traditional handheld refractometer is an analog instrument for measuring refractive index of a liquid. It works on the critical angle principle by which lenses and prisms project a shadow line onto a small glass reticle inside the instrument, which is then viewed by the user through a magnifying eyepiece
SUGAR CONCENTRATION
Refractometer are use for a wide variety of analyses like measuring the sugar concentration (Brix) in products like honey, fruit juices and energy drinks. Brix indicates the weight content of sugar in a 100 grams sugar cane solution
A few drops on the measurement prism of the refractometer are sufficient to read the refraction index of a liquid under test. The reflected light beam projects a shadow line onto a small glass reticle inside the instrument. The line and scale can be read through a magnifying eyepiece. The reading of most refractometers are corrected with an automatic temperature compensation (ATC)
