Description
Refractometers have been used for measuring the concentration of solutions for more than a century. Their primary purpose is to measure the degree at which light bends as it passes through a medium, and is used in a wide range of applications and industries as a quality control and diagnostic tool.
Laxco Analog Refractometers are designed for simple operation and built to last a lifetime with its all-metal construction. Laxco Industrial Series refractometers have a rugged design and a water-resistant seal.
Each unit is inspected in the United States by a factory qualified technician under a rigid quality control process to ensure its accuracy, and performance.
Key Features:
- Quickly calibrate the instrument with a turn of a screw, and distilled water
- Comfortable rubber eyecup blocks out ambient light, and allows for crystal clear viewing of readings
- Automatic temperature compensation prevents the need for constant re-calibration of the instrument. As the ambient temperature changes, the scale will automatically compensate for the difference in the degree of refraction. This ensures an accurate reading every time
- All metal construction and water-resistant seal between prism and main body protects and prevents damage to internal objective lens
- Metal footrest allows the instrument to be set on a flat surface without the worry of it rolling
- Rubber hand grip is comfortable, easy to grasp. Its non-slip pattern grip reduces that chance of accidental dropping
- One-piece U-shaped metal hinged daylight plate provides durability of frequent opening and closing. 2 screws allow the daylight plate to be easily replaced in case of accidental damage
- Machined hole for hanging the refractometer in a convenient location
- Portable, easy to use design
BRIX Models:
Laxco Analog Brix Refractometers primary application is to measure the sugar concentration levels in various beverages and foods. Brix models use a larger range of the refractive index scale, which allows them to be used in many other applications such as cutting coolants, flux compounds, industrial fluids, and cutting oils making them a versatile tool.
