Description
Refractive Index Standard BRIX with 0 % stabilised saccharose is a calibration solution that provides a refractive index of 1,33299 at 20 °C. This ROTI®Calipure preparation is supplied in a practical 15 ml pack size for routine laboratory use. It exhibits a density of 1 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 100 °C, giving well-defined physical properties for optical reference work. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the aqueous standard supports verification and calibration of refractometers operating on the Brix scale. The zero-percent stabilised saccharose level establishes a reliable low-end reference point, helping analysts confirm baseline instrument response during setup and ongoing checks. Food-testing, quality-control and general analytical laboratories can integrate the material into regular performance-monitoring workflows for Brix-related refractive index measurements. Its stated optical value at 20 °C enables consistent comparison against instrument readings, while the compact 15 ml format suits economical handling in day-to-day calibration routines without excess volume.

Questions about Refractive Index Standard BRIX, 0 % stabilised saccharose, 1,33299 (20 °C)
What is this article?
Refractive Index Standard BRIX, 0 % stabilised saccharose, 1,33299 (20 °C) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth 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?
