Refractometer for Measuring Sugar (%Brix) in Wine, Brewed Samples and Juices HI96811

Producer:
SKU: HANNA-HI96811 Category:

Measures the sweetness of wine and juice from 0 to 50% Brix

Small sample size, about 2 drops of solution (0.1 mL)

Simple and easy calibration with just 1 key

Fast, accurate measurement in 1.5 seconds

SUGAR IN WINE

The HI96811 Digital Wine Refractometer converts the refractive index of wine, juice, or grape mash samples to % Brix. This conversion is based on tables found in the ICUMSA (International Commission on Uniform Methods of Analysis for Sugars) Methods Book which record the changes in refractive index with temperature of the sucrose solution as a percentage by weight. Since the majority of the sugar in grape juice must be fructose and glucose rather than sucrose, the reading is sometimes referred to as “visible Brix”. Grapes at harvest will typically range from 19-24% Brix or degrees Brix (°Bx). The HI96811 is an easy-to-use tool for winemakers to measure sugar in grapes or mash samples, either in the field or in the laboratory.

 + Designed to determine sweetness in wine
 + Automatic temperature compensation
 + Range from 0 to 50% Brix with accuracy ± 0.2% 

HOW TO MAKE STANDARD SUCROSE SOLUTION

– Place the container (such as a glass jar or dropper bottle with a cap) on an analytical balance.

– Tare

– Weigh X grams of high purity sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1) directly into the container.

– Add distilled or deionized water to the container so that the total weight of the solution is 100g.

- Note: The solution on 65% needs to be stirred or shaken vigorously and the water heated to about 40oC. Remove the solution from the tank when the glucose has completely dissolved and allow to cool before use.

REFRGUSTING INDEX 

The HI96811 allows for measurements based on a sample’s refractive index. Refractive index is a measure of how light behaves as it 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 sample’s refractive index can be assessed and used to determine its physical properties such as concentration and density. In addition to the linear image sensor, the HI96811 uses an LED light, prism, and lens to make measurement possible.

Fluctuations in temperature will affect the accuracy of the refractive index, so the use of temperature compensation is highly recommended for reliable results. The HI96811 contains a built-in temperature sensor and is programmed with temperature compensation algorithms per ICUMSA Methods Book Standards for one percent sucrose solutions.
