Product Description
Atago 2332 MASTER-3T Hand-Held Refractometer, Automatic Temperature Compensation, Brix 58.0 to 90.0%: Industrial & Scientific. For example, a straw placed in a high-concentration substance appears more bent than when placed in a low-concentration substance. The Atago 2332 MASTER-3T is a hand-held, portable refractometer with a Brix scale that measures in the 58.0 to 90.0% range, has automatic temperature compensation (ATC), a spoon-shaped tip for automatic smooth sampling (ASD), and a metal body. A Brix refractometer measures the refractive index of a solution in a sample, converts it to sugar concentration in units of percent by weight (% Brix, also known as degrees Brix), and displays the results. Hand-held refractometers, also known as sugar meters, concentration meters, or Brix meters, are commonly used in the culinary, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, educational, geological, chemical, and ecological industries, and for water-testing applications. This refractometer is housed in a durable, die-cast aluminum metal body for heat and organic solvent resistance. The 2332 MASTER-3T features ATC for immediate, accurate readings, regardless of ambient temperature. Calibration can be controlled and adjusted with an exposed calibration screw and an included specialized screwdriver, although other items can be used to unscrew the unit. However, the unit retains its water-resistance. A spoon-shaped tip allows for automatic sample distribution (ASD) across the prism and boundary line (also called measurement line) for accurate, smooth sampling with small portions, and sample disposal from the edge. With ASD, the daylight plate does not need to be lifted to cover the prism with the sample. The outer shell grip is smooth and easy to clean, which reduces the possibility of food and sample entrapment, avoiding contamination and bacterial growth. The analog Brix scale features a bright, high-contrast display for clear visibility of the boundary and memory lines intersection. Samples are viewed through a monocular, focusable, cushioned eyepiece. The unit includes a protective plastic storage case with a foam cut-out insert to cushion the instrument. Specifications Measurement scale range Brix 58.0 to 90.0 percent (ATC) Minimum detection scale Brix 0.2 percent Accuracy Brix + or - 0.2 percent at 10 to 40 degrees C Resolution Brix + or - 0.1 percent Sample volume 10μl or more Illumination Ambient light; unit requires no additional power source Dimensions 16.8 x 3.2 x 3.4 cm (H x W x D) Weight 130g Warranty Limited one-year *H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back. Refractometers are used to determine substance content in a sample, to provide unit readings of substances including Brix, salinity, and alcohol; to detect chemical impurities, or to measure components of samples such as industrial fluid. Refractometers measure the refractive index of a substance, which is its optical characteristic, and the number of dissolved particles in it. The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in empty space to the speed of light in a substance; when light passes from one medium to another. Generally, a low concentration sample has a larger angle of refraction than a high concentration sample. Refractometers can work with natural light, or with an external power source such as batteries or electricity.
