The 

HI 96803

 Digital Glucose Refractometer is a rugged portable, water

resistant device that benefits from Hanna’s years of experience as a
manufacturer of analytical instruments.
The 

HI 96803

 is an optical instrument that employs the measurement of

refractive index to determine the % Glucose 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
% by weight concentration units. The 

HI 96803

 digital refractometer

eliminates the uncertainity associated with mechanical refractometers and
is easily portable for measurements on the go.
The measurement technique and temperature compensation employ
methodology recommended in the ICUMSA Methods Book (Internationally
recognized body for 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.
