Refractometer
A Mettler Toledo refractometer (or brix meter), is an analytical instrument that uses a high-resolution optical sensor to measure the total reflection of a light beam that is in contact with a sample. The total reflected light is calculated and the refractive index value is displayed on the instrument, which can be converted into brix, HFCS or other concentrations. Refractometers are often referred to as Brix meters, especially in industries like food and beverage production. This is because they are commonly used to measure the Brix scale, which indicates the sugar content in liquids.
Refractometers are essential tools for precise liquid analysis across various industries, including laboratories, food and beverage production, and pharmaceuticals. These instruments provide critical data for quality control, research, and product development. Mettler Toledo’s refractometers feature user-friendly interfaces with clear digital displays, making them accessible to users of all experience levels. Built with durable materials, they are designed to withstand rigorous use in diverse environments, guaranteeing long-lasting performance. Additionally, automatic temperature compensation ensures accurate readings under varying conditions, enhancing the reliability of your data. Whether you need to monitor the concentration of solutions, verify product quality, or conduct detailed research, our range of refractometers are the perfect choice.
Our refractometers are a synonym for accuracy, speed and simplicity. Choose from a robust portable solution to an accurate benchtop brix meter.
