Description
Analogue refractometer KERN ORA 80BB is a universal, maintenance-free handheld instrument for refractive index measurement in laboratories and industry. The ORA-B series combines a compact, robust construction with simple, efficient and durable daily operation. Scales are specially developed, exactly calculated and verified, and feature very thin, clear lines for reliable reading. The optical system and prism cover are made from special materials that enable low-tolerance measuring. An eyepiece with straightforward, smooth adjustment suits different eyesight requirements. This model is especially intended for Brix value measurement to determine sugar content in foods, notably fruit, vegetables, juice and sugar-containing beverages, and is equally suited to industrial process monitoring such as cooling lubricants and water-based mixtures. Main application areas include industrial process and quality control, lubricant monitoring, the food industry, agriculture for fruit ripeness assessment, and restaurants or large kitchens. Delivery from manufacturer Kern includes a storage box, calibration solution, pipette, screwdriver and cleaning cloth; further accessories are optionally available. Supplied as 1 pc, net weight 0,25 kg and gross weight 0,30 kg.

Questions about Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 80BB
What is this article?
Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 80BB 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.
