Description
Analogue refractometer KERN ORA 82BB is a universal, maintenance-free handheld instrument for refractive index work in laboratories and industry. Its compact, robust design supports simple, efficient daily use, while specially developed, precisely calculated scales provide very thin, clear lines for confident readings. The optical system and prism cover are made from selected materials that enable low-tolerance measurement, and the eyepiece allows smooth, straightforward adjustment to different visual acuities. This model from manufacturer Kern is particularly suited to Brix determination of sugar content in foods—especially fruit, vegetables, juice and sugar-containing beverages—and to industrial monitoring of coolants and water-based mixtures. Main application areas include process and quality control plus lubricant monitoring in industry, beverage and confectionery work in the food sector, agricultural ripeness checks for harvest quality, and use in restaurants and large-scale kitchens. Delivery includes a storage box, calibration block, contact liquid, pipette, screwdriver and cleaning cloth; further accessories are available optionally. Pack size is 1 pc.

Questions about Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 82BB
What is this article?
Analogue Refractometer KERN ORA 82BB 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?
