If you need to eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers, the HI96811 is a great solution. It is a rugged, portable, water resistant, optical instrument that uses refractive index measurements to display the sugar content in liquid samples. Within seconds the instrument takes the refractive index and converts it to % Brix.
