The
HI96801
Digital Sucrose Refractometer is a rugged portable, water
resistant device that benefits from Hanna Instruments’ years of experience
as a manufacturer of analytical instruments.
The
HI96801
is an optical instrument that employs the measurement of
refractive index to determine the % Brix of sugar in aqueous solutions. The
method is both simple and quick. Samples are measured after a simple user
calibration with deionized or distilled water. Within seconds the instrument
measures the refractive index of the sample and converts it to % Brix
concentration units.
The
HI96801
digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainity associated with
mechanical refractometers and is easily portable for measurements in the field.
The measurement technique and temperature compensation employ methodo‑
logy recommended in the ICUMSA Methods Book (International Commission
for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis).
Temperature (in °C or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement
on the large dual level display along with icons for Low Power and other
helpful message codes.
Key features include:
• Dual‑level LCD
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
• Easy setup and storage
• Battery operation with Low Power indicator (BEPS)
• Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non‑use.
