The Master Science Digital Refractometer is a handheld, IP65-rated meter for quick Brix, salinity, honey moisture and refractive index readings in the lab, at the production line or in the field. Place a few drops on the prism, press the button, and the temperature-compensated result appears on a bright color TFT display.
Five scale versions are offered, so each user can choose the range that matches fruit juice, syrup, honey, brine or general concentration checks.
