Hanna Instruments HI-96803 is a portable glucose refractometer designed for use in the food industry. To determine the % glucose in aqueous solutions, the HI-96803 measures the refractive index. The results are then converted to % by weight concentration units. The HI-96803 offers all the benefits of a digital meter but only costs a little more than a mechanical model. Ideal for analysing the sugar content in fruit, energy drinks, puddings, jams, honey, sauces, tofu and soups.
Benefits
- White, water-resistant, casing
- Easy clean sample well
- Zero using pure water
- Battery operated with auto shut-off
- 1.5 second measurement time
- Direct readout in % Brix and ℃
- Automatic temperature compensation
- No calibration solutions required
- Large clear LCD display
The HI-96803 is used by fruit growers and importers, fruit juice & drink manufacturers, and productions of jams, preserves & sauces. This is one of five sugar refractometers Hanna offers to meet the requirements of the food industry. The HI-96803 is rugged and water-resistant for measurements in the lab or field.
