Hanna Instruments HI 96804 Digital Invert Sugar Refractometer

The HI 96804 is a portable, water resistant digital invert sugar refractometer that employs the measurement of refractive index to determine the percent of invert sugar in aqueous solutions. The meter helps eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers, and is suitable for field or lab use. Samples are measured after a simple user calibration with deionized or distilled water and within 1.5 seconds the instrument measures the refractive index of the sample and converts it to percent by weight concentration units. The meter features Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) between 10 and 40 degrees C (50 – 104 degrees F) and temperature (in C and F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement on a large, dual-level LCD display along with icons for low power and other message codes. Auto-shut off feature turns the meter off automatically after three minutes of non use.

Range is 0 to 85%; 0 to 80 degrees C/32 to 176 degrees F, + or – 0.2%; 0.3 degrees C (0.5 degrees F) with a resolution of 0.1%; 0.1 degrees C (0.1 degrees F). The device operates on a 9V battery. Dimensions are 19.2 x 10.2 x 6.7 cm, and weighs 420 g.

Invert sugar refractometers utilize the measurement of refractive index to determine the percent of invert sugar in a substance. They are used by researchers, manufacturers, and individuals.
