Brix Refractometer Operation Flow
- Open the cover and carefully clean the inspection prism with a soft cloth.
- Take a few drops of the tested solution and place it on the detection prism. Then gently close the cover to avoid air bubbles and allow the solution to spread over the prism surface.
- Align light source or bright spot, eyes observe the view field through the eyepiece.
- Turn the adjustment handwheel of the eyepiece to make the blue-white boundary of the view field clear. The scale value of the dividing line is the concentration of the solution.

Q1: What is a refractometer?
A1: A refractometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the refractive index of a substance. The refractive index is a measure of how much the speed of light changes when passing through a substance. Refractometers are commonly used in various industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and automotive industries, to name a few.
Refractometers work by shining a beam of light through a sample and measuring the angle at which the light is bent or refracted as it passes through the substance. This angle is then compared to a known scale or reference chart to determine the refractive index of the substance. Refractometers can be used to measure a variety of substances such as liquids, gases, and solids, and are particularly useful for measuring the concentration of dissolved solids in a liquid sample, such as sugar content in fruit juice or wine.
Q2: How does a refractometer work?
A2:Â A refractometer works by measuring the extent to which a beam of light is refracted, or bent, as it passes through a sample. The amount of refraction depends on the refractive index of the sample, which is a measure of how much the speed of light changes when passing through the substance.
The basic design of a refractometer typically consists of a light source, a prism, a sample plate or well, and a detector. The prism is made of a material with a known refractive index, such as glass or plastic, and is designed to refract the incoming light beam at a specific angle. The sample is placed on the sample plate or well, and the refracted light passes through the sample before reaching the detector.
The detector measures the angle of the refracted light and compares it to a known scale or reference chart to determine the refractive index of the sample. This can be done manually by reading the scale or chart, or digitally through a display screen or computer software.
Different types of refractometers may use different methods for measuring the angle of the refracted light, such as through a handheld device, a benchtop instrument, or an inline sensor. Some refractometers also incorporate temperature compensation to account for the effect of temperature on the refractive index of the sample. Overall, refractometers are versatile instruments that can be used to measure a wide range of samples in various industries, from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and beyond.
Q3: Why do you need a refractometer?
A3:Â A refractometer is a valuable tool in many industries and applications because it allows for quick, accurate, and non-destructive measurements of the refractive index of a sample. There are several reasons why you might need a refractometer, including:
- Measuring dissolved solids: Refractometers are commonly used to measure the concentration of dissolved solids in a liquid sample, such as sugar content in fruit juice or wine. This can be useful in industries such as food and beverage, where the quality and consistency of products depend on accurate measurements of ingredients.
- Quality control: Refractometers can be used as a quality control tool to ensure that products meet certain specifications or standards. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, refractometers can be used to check the purity and consistency of drugs.
- Research and development: Refractometers are often used in research and development to study the physical and chemical properties of substances. They can be used to investigate the refractive index of new materials, determine the composition of unknown substances, and to study the effects of temperature and pressure on the refractive index.
- Process monitoring: Refractometers can be used as inline sensors to monitor processes and ensure that they are running smoothly. For example, in the chemical industry, refractometers can be used to monitor the concentration of solutions in real time, helping to optimize production processes and reduce waste.
