Description
- The models in the KERN ORA-P range are universal, maintenance-free analogue manual refractometers
- The handy and robust design allows the easy, efficient and sustainable use in everyday life
- Manually calculated conversions and errors of the user are avoided by multiple selectable scales.
- These scales are especailly developed, exactly calculated and checked. They are also characterized by their thin and clear lines.
- The optical system and the prism cover are made of special material which allows a low-tolerance measuring.
- All models are fitted with an eyepiece which can be adjusted easily and smoothly to different visual capacities
- Included with the delivery:
- Storage box
- Calibration solution
- Pipette
- Screwdriver
- Cleaning cloth - Further accessories are available optionally.
- This model is particularly suitable for the measurement of the specific gravity (sg) in urine, the quantitiy of serum (serumproteine) in urine (doping control among athletes), and the refractive index.
- The main scope of applications is:
- Hospitals
- doctor´s practise
- Medical training institutions
- Nursing homes
- Sports medicine (doping test)

Questions about Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 2PB
What is this article?
Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 2PB is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Refractometers & polarimeters, inside Spectroscopy & photometry, in Lab instruments.
A refractometer reads the refractive index of a liquid, often expressed as Brix for sugar. A polarimeter reads the rotation of polarised light. Both depend on temperature. A handheld refractometer and a thermostated benchtop instrument are different accuracies.
A photometer or spectrophotometer sends light through a sample and reads how much was absorbed. In the range where the Beer–Lambert relation holds, absorbance tracks concentration. A refractometer reads how a liquid bends light, which tracks dissolved solids. A polarimeter reads the rotation of polarised light, the classical measurement for sugars. The lamp, the wavelength and the cuvette path length are the three things that have to be right before the number means anything. The optical quantities trace to NIST and the BIPM.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Spectroscopy & photometry. The sub-category is Refractometers & polarimeters. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Photometers & spectrophotometers and Lamps, cuvette holders & accessories.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
