Description
Analogue refractometer KERN ORA 62BB is a universal, maintenance-free handheld instrument for refractive index measurement in laboratories and industry. As part of the ORA-B series it features a handy, robust construction for simple, efficient and durable everyday operation. The scales are specially developed, precisely calculated and verified, distinguished by very thin and clear lines. Special materials in the optical system and prism cover support low-tolerance measuring. An ocular with simple, smooth adjustment accommodates different visual acuities. This model from manufacturer Kern is particularly suitable for Brix value measurement used to determine sugar content in foods, especially fruit, vegetables, juice and sugar-containing drinks, and is equally well suited to industrial process monitoring such as cooling-lubricant control and water-based mixtures. Principal application areas cover industry process and quality control including lubricant checks, the food industry (beverages, fruit, confectionery), agriculture for assessing fruit ripeness at harvest, and restaurants or large-scale kitchens. Scope of delivery includes storage box, calibration solution, pipette, screwdriver and cleaning cloth. Supplied as 1 pc with net weight 0,30 kg.
This article is part of Refractometers & polarimeters, in Spectroscopy & photometry.

Questions about Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 62BB
What is this article?
Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 62BB 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.
