Anton Paar SmartRef Digital Refractometer
The Anton Paar SmartRef Digital Refractometer is a compact, portable solution for fast and accurate measurement of refractive index, Brix, salinity, and other concentration values. Designed for a wide range of applications, SmartRef delivers measurement results in under 2 seconds using only 0.4 mL of sample. With a measuring range of 0 to 85 °Brix and accuracy of ±0.2 °Brix, it provides reliable results for routine testing and quality control.
SmartRef connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to a free iOS or Android mobile app, giving users intelligent guidance during measurements as well as convenient tools for storing, managing, visualizing, and sharing data. Automatic temperature compensation eliminates the need for manual correction tables, while the stainless-steel sample well and IP66-rated housing make the instrument durable and easy to clean. SmartRef can be used for testing beer wort, wine, juice, honey, fruits and vegetables, saltwater, and other liquids, making it a versatile refractometer for laboratory, production, and field applications.
SmartRef is suitable for a variety of testing and quality-control applications including: beer and wort extract measurement, wine and grape sugar testing, juice and beverage testing, honey moisture measurement, fruit and vegetable sweetness testing, saltwater aquarium and pool salinity management, maple syrup and other sugar-containing products, sauce and jam concentration testing, hot-transfer fluid concentration measurement, and routine laboratory and production quality control.
SmartRef digital refractometer comes with 2 AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries and manufacturer documentation.
