Hanna Instruments HI96800 Digital Refractometer for Refractive Index and Brix

The brand-new HI96800 Digital Refractometer from Hanna measures Refractive Index and shows data on the dual-level LCD screen in both temperature-compensated (nD20) and non-temperature-compensated (nD) formats. The HI96800’s user-friendly design and pin-point accuracy guarantee simple use and consistent results.

To ascertain a liquid’s composition and evaluate its concentration and density, the refractive index is evaluated. Many sectors, including the food, pharmaceutical, and environmental ones, consider it as a crucial gauge of consistency and quality. A simple button press on the HI96800 also changes Refractive Index to% Brix.

Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)
Sealed stainless steel well with high-grade optical prism made of flint glass
Fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated readings

Category: Refractometer

Description

Hanna Instruments new HI96800 Digital Refractometer combines form and function into one compact unit. Featuring a 1.5 second response time, the HI96800 measures refractive index from 1.3330 to 1.5040 with temperature compensation (nD20) and from 1.3300 to 1.5080 without temperature compensation (nD). For added versatility the refractometer also converts refractive index to % Brix (0-85%). One-button calibration makes setup quick and easy.

The improved easy-to-read LCD screen displays temperature units (^°C or ^°F) and measurements simultaneously. By pressing the ‘Range’ key, users can easily switch between refractive index (nD), refractive index (nD20) and % Brix readings while in measurement mode. The HI96800’s IP65 water-resistant casing and sealed sample well is built to perform under harsh conditions, making it suitable for use in the field or in the laboratory.

1.3300-1.5080 Refractive Index range with +/- 0.0005 accuracy
0-85% Brix range with +/- 0.2% accuracy
Simple one-button calibration
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) and No Temperature Compensation Settings (NoTC)

$refractive index$

Refractive Index

The refractive index of a sample is used by the HI96800 to take measurements. The refractive index gauges the behavior of light as it travels through the sample. Light will refract and reflect differently depending on the makeup of the sample. The refractive index of the sample can be examined by measuring this activity with a linear image sensor and utilized to ascertain its physical characteristics, such as concentration and density. The HI96800 enables measurement through the employment of an LED light, prism, and lens in addition to a linear image sensor.

Temperature correction is strongly advised for accurate results because temperature variations will impair the precision of readings of refractive index. The ICUMSA Methods Book Standard for a % by weight sucrose solution at 20°C is used to program temperature compensation algorithms into the HI96800, which also has a built-in temperature sensor. The algorithms used for compensation differ depending on the parameter being assessed. By hitting the “Range” key when in measurement mode, the user can change between temperature-compensated (nD20), non-temperature-compensated (nD), and temperature-compensated% Brix readings.
