Description
Digital refractometer KERN ORM 2WN is a precise, universal and maintenance-free digital handheld refractometer for refractive index measurement across versatile applications. Simple handling and a robust, handy design make it suitable for convenient, fast daily use. Integrated automatic temperature compensation (ATC) enables straightforward workflows without manual conversion of results, and the instrument can be calibrated quickly and easily at any time using commercially available distilled water. Mean value measurements are possible. Rated to international protection class IP65 against dust and splash water, the unit may be rinsed under running water after use. The delivery scope includes prism cover, pipette, storage box, one AAA battery and operating instructions. This model from manufacturer Kern is particularly suitable for measuring sugar content in fruit to estimate the alcohol yield that can be expected from the fruit, and for assessing fruit ripeness (fruit sugar), for example in grapes; results can optionally be shown in Brix. Main application areas are agriculture (viticulture and fruit growing), winemaking, and must and alcohol production.
This article is part of Refractometers & polarimeters, in Spectroscopy & photometry.

Questions about Digital Refractometer KERN ORM 2WN
What is this article?
Digital Refractometer KERN ORM 2WN 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?
