Digital Brix+Salinity Refractometers YR05961 // YR05965

The Digital Brix+Salinity Refractometers YR05961 // YR05965 offer an advanced solution for measuring the concentration of soluble solids and salinity in various aqueous solutions. These refractometers are ideal for analyzing sugar content in fruit juices, syrups, and purees, as well as measuring the salinity in solutions like sodium chloride and seawater. With automatic temperature compensation (ATC), the refractometers ensure precise readings without requiring manual temperature adjustments between 0 to 40°C (32-104°F). The standardized Brix and salinity scales provide accurate, easy-to-read results on a digital display, enhancing usability for both novice and experienced users.

Market Price

The Digital Brix+Salinity Refractometers, with their specialized features and precision, typically fall within a market price range of $150 to $450 USD. This range reflects their value in delivering quick and accurate measurements, making them a competitive choice for laboratories and industries requiring precise concentration analysis.
