Description
Digital handheld refractometer DR101-60 is a portable instrument for precise concentration analysis using the Brix scale. Automatic temperature compensation supports stable readings when sample temperature varies, which is essential for routine quality control of liquids in laboratory and process environments. Compact construction and a net weight of 0,16 kg make the unit convenient for bench work and mobile measurements without a fixed installation. The instrument is intended for concentration checks where fast, repeatable Brix results are required. Supplied as a single unit from manufacturer Krüss, the DR101-60 suits food, beverage and general analytical applications that rely on refractive-index-based concentration determination. Originating from Germany, it belongs to the digital handheld refractometer class used for on-the-spot sample assessment. Gross weight is 1 kg including packaging, supporting straightforward handling and storage alongside other laboratory optics.
This article is part of Refractometers & polarimeters, in Spectroscopy & photometry.

Questions about Digital handheld refractometer DR101-60
What is this article?
Digital handheld refractometer DR101-60 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Krüss 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.
