WHAT IS A REFRACTOMETER?
The HANNA refractometer is a method of measuring samples based on the refractive index of the sample. The refractive index is a measure of how light passes through a sample. Depending on the composition of the sample, light will refract and reflect differently. By measuring this with a linear image sensor, the refractive index of the sample can be evaluated and used to determine its physical properties such as concentration and density. In addition to the linear image sensor, the refractometer uses an LED light, prism and lens to make measurements.
Temperature fluctuations will affect the accuracy of the refractive index, so the use of temperature compensation is highly recommended for reliable results. The refractometer contains a built-in temperature sensor and is programmed with temperature compensation algorithms according to the ICUMSA Method Book for percent sucrose solutions.
