Description
The J57WR Automatic Refractometer was designed to meet the unique needs of industrial environments in the chemical industry where the refractometer is viewed as a QC tool rather than a laboratory instrument. A single flat measurement surface, electronic temperature control and one button measurement capability make it perfect for heavy use applications.
Automatic Measuring System: The Rudolph J57WR features a fully automatic measuring system. The operator simply places the sample on the prism, presses a button and the result is displayed on a 7.5cm x 10cm back lit LCD. There are no shadow lines to match and there is no eyepiece requiring operator determination or manual adjustment.
Electronic Temperature Control: Refractive Index (BRIX) readings are very sensitive to temperature. When measuring sucrose users have the option of correcting for temperature variation but that option does not work for most chemical companies. Users not measuring sucrose or users looking for better accuracy than provided by temperature correction had to spend the extra money for a circulating water bath and then clean and maintain it. The J57WR’s built in electronic temperature control provides the best of both worlds, the absolute accuracy, regardless of sample type, of a temperature controlled instrument with the convenience of operating without a water bath.
Wide Measuring Range: The J57WR was designed for chemical measurement, not food. This means a very wide measurement range from 1.26 - 1.70 enabling the instrument to measure materials like fluorocarbons and aromatic chemicals that are beyond the range of most refractometers.
