Introduction 

Your lightweight portable refractometer is a precision 
optical instrument designed to measure urine specific 
gravity (UG), serum albumen (SG / protein) and re-
fractive index (Nd).  It uses three accurate and gradu-
ated scales that coincide with JSCP regulations.  It is 
excellent for medical monitoring, scientific research 
and quality assurance requirements.  Refractometers 
operate on the principle that as the concentration or 
density of a solution increases, its refractive index 
changes proportionately.  The refractive angle meas-
ured by your refractometer registers on the scale.  The 
higher the concentration, the higher the readings reg-
ister on the scale.
