PCE Instruments PCE-DRB 1 Refractometer

Waterproof digital Brix sugar refractometer PCE-DRB 1 for determining the sugar content / Measuring parameters Brix, refractive index / 0...90 % Brix / 1.3330 ... 1.5177 ND / with temperature compensation how much sugar is contained in a liquid can be most easily determined with a digital Brix sugar refractometer. The PCE Instruments Brix Digital Sugar Refractometer is a handheld instrument designed specifically to perform accurate analysis of sugary solutions. In this way, the user can carry out an easy quality control and check the sugar concentration in a liquid with the support of the Brix Sugar Refractometer. The Brix unit of measurement is mainly used in the fruit industry and determines the relative density of liquids. The Brix Zucker refractometer is a precision measuring instrument based on the measurement of the refractive index of a liquid and ensures maximum reliability even under difficult measuring conditions. With the help of the Brix refractometer, the user can measure the sugar content in a liquid even with a small sample quantity. To obtain a meaningful result, it is sufficient to drip four to five drops into the funnel-shaped stainless steel cavity of the measuring device. A prism is enclosed in the sample well, so the amount of sugar is measured by refraction. The internal light source also allows measurements under artificial light conditions. Artificial light can quickly cause measuring errors when using an analogue Brix sugar refractometer. The ambient temperature has a great influence on the measuring result. The temperature influence during use is compensated internally by the Brix sugar refractometer. After this automatic temperature compensation (10 to 40 °C), the measurement result is displayed quickly and precisely on the large, easy-to-read LCD display of the Brix sugar refractometer. The Brix Sugar Refractometer's large measurement range ranges from 0 to 90% Brix. In addition, the display of the Brix sugar refractometer provides information about the measured temperature of the liquid (0 to 40 °C) and the refractive index (1.3330 to 1.5177 ND) thanks to an integrated temperature display. The glass prism of the digital Brix sugar refractometer, which is integrated in the stainless steel recess, can be cleaned quickly and easily before and after the measurement and is closed with a prism cover made of plastic. The Brix Sugar Refractometer is designed to protect the glass prism from damage. The comfortable three-button operation guarantees a user-friendly operation. In order to save the battery of the Brix sugar refractometer, the Brix digital refractometer is equipped with an automatic shut-off. When not in use, the Brix sugar refractometer switches off automatically after one minute. A few drops of distiled water are sufficient to calibrate the Brix sugar refractometer yourself at the push of a button, if necessary. Application areas Brix sugar refractometer is an optical measuring device with which the user can determine the mixing ratio of numerous different solutions. The application areas of the Brix Sugar Refractometer range from fruit harvesting to fruit sorting and evaluation to quality control. In the fruit harvest, for example, the Brix sugar refractometer can be used to determine whether the fruit is ripe enough to harvest. The Brix sugar refractometer can also be used for the input control. Other areas of application are in the food industry for controlling ingredients and complying with various standards. The Brix Zucker Refractometer from PCE Instruments is suitable for reliable instant analyzes, is versatile and easy to use. With the help of the digital Brix refractometer, sugary liquid can be checked quickly and easily. Thanks to its user-friendly handling, the Brix Sugar Refractometer is ideally suited to determine the sugar content in juices and other sugary liquids within seconds. Thanks to the handy and robust design, the Brix Zucker refractometer can be used anytime and anywhere. Its simple operation and waterproof casing make the Brix sugar refractometer indispensable when checking liquids. Calibration on the Brix refractometer PCE-DRB 1 before use, you should calibrate the refractometer to ensure that the following readings are correct. Calibration is very simple, you only need distiled water as a reference fluid. Before calibration or measurement, check that the sample well is residue-free and clean. If necessary, you can clean the sample well with a lint-free soft paper or textile cloth. Then make sure that the refractometer is on a level horizontal surface and that both the refractometer and the distiled water have reached room temperature. USE THE SCALE button to switch between the Brix scale S01 and the Refraction index scale S02 measurement parameters. Be sure to calibrate the measurement parameter you are using for the following measurement. Of course, you can also calibrate both measurement parameters one after the other. To do this, start the refractometer, add 4 to 5 drops of distiled water to the sample well, close the cover and select the calibration function with the CAL button. If the calibration is successful, 0.0% for the Brix scale S01 or 1.3330 RI for the refraction index scale S02 will be displayed. The refractometer can detect the following errors during the calibration process and display as an error code: Calibration temperature outside the measurement range 0 to 40 °C, wrong liquid, missing liquid or hardware problem. If the refractometer does not calibrate successfully, you can send the device to our repair service for verification.
