Hanna HI96800 Refractive Index and Brix Meter Refractometer

Hanna HI96800 Refractive Index and Brix Meter Refractometer

• The Hanna HI96800 digital refractometer is a precise measurement device used to determine the composition of liquids and assess concentration and density.
  
• It is preferred in many industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and environment to ensure quality and consistency.
  
• The device measures the refractive index in both temperature-compensated and non-compensated formats and converts the refractive index to %Brix with a single button.

Features:

• Designed to determine the composition of liquids and measure concentration and density.

• Measures refractive index in the range of 1.3330 – 1.5040 with temperature compensation (nD20), and 1.3300 – 1.5080 without temperature compensation (nD).

• Has the ability to convert refractive index to %Brix (0-85).

• Provides more precise digital results compared to mechanical refractometers, eliminating uncertainty.

• Requires calibration before each use; calibration is done by applying distilled water and pressing the "ZERO" button.

• For sample measurement, use the pipette provided in the box to apply the sample to the prism surface and press the "READ" button.

• The pipette should be washed with water between different samples.

• Measurement time is approximately 1.5 seconds.

• Results can be easily read on a large and clear LCD screen.

• Measurement units can be selected as °C and °F.

• The temperature unit can be changed by pressing the "ON/OFF" and "ZERO" buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds when the device is off.

• If the temperature of the sample differs from the device, thermal equilibrium should be achieved for 1 minute before measurement.

• Temperature compensation is done with the ATC (Automatic Temperature Control) feature.

• If the temperature exceeds the range of 10-40 °C (50-104 °F), the ATC tag will blink, and temperature compensation will be disabled.

• The glass prism can be cleaned with a dry cloth for new measurements.

• Switch between measurement units nD, nD20, and %Brix with the “RANGE” button.

• Users are alerted to low battery status with BEPS (Battery Error Prevention System).

• The device automatically turns off if no operation is performed for 3 minutes.

• It is resistant to dust and water splashes with IP65 protection class.

• Designed for harsh field and laboratory conditions.

• Operates with 1 piece of 9V battery.
