The HI96801 report the results with an accuracy of ±0.2% Brix. The operation of the meter is simplified with only two buttons: one button is to calibrate with distilled or deionized water and the other to take a measurement. All readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations according to the ICUMSA Methods Book standard and displayed within a 1.5 second response time. The sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well are easy to clean. Just wipe with a soft cloth in preparation for the next sample.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;"><img src=" alt="Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; display: block; float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; clear: both;"></p><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 50px 0px 0px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4; text-rendering: optimizeSpeed; height: 100px;">Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)</h3><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;"><img src=" alt="Sealed stainless steel well with high grade optical prism made of flint glass" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; display: block; float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; clear: both;"></p><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 30px 0px 0px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4; text-rendering: optimizeSpeed; height: 100px;">Sealed stainless steel well with high-grade optical prism made of flint glass</h3><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;"><img src=" alt="Fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated reading" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 40px 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; display: block; float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; clear: both;"></p><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 30px 0px 0px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4; text-rendering: optimizeSpeed; height: 100px;">Fast 1.5 second response time for temperature compensated readings</h3></div></div></div><div class="clearer" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; clear: both;"></div></form></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(99, 99, 99); font-family: SohoGothicPro-Light, " helvetica="" neue",="" verdana,="" arial,="" sans-serif;="" font-size:="" 14px;="" line-height:="" 21px;="" background-color:="" rgb(255,="" 255,="" 255);"=""><dl style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><dd class="tab-container" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; clear: both;"><div class="tab-content" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 35px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.2; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Details</h2><div class="std" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="prod-view-details-container" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 50px 0px 0px; clear: both; border-top-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);"><div class="prod-view-details-left" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 70px; width: 615px; float: left;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 50px 1.5em 0px; padding: 0px;">The HI96801 Digital Sucrose Refractometer converts the refractive index of a food sample to % Brix. This conversion is based on the tables found in the ICUMSA Methods Book (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) that documents the changes in refractive index with temperature for a percent by weight sucrose solution. The HI96801 is ideal for the analysis of fruits, energy drinks, puddings, soy milk, juices, jam, marmalade, honey, soups, jelly, tofu and condiments. The HI96801 is an easy-to-use tool for measuring sugar in food samples in the field or in the lab.</p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: outside;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">Designed for food sugar analysis</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">Temperature Compensation algorithms based on sucrose solution</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">0 to 85% Brix range with an accuracy of ± 0.2%</li></ul></div><div class="prod-view-details-right" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 615px; float: right;"><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4; text-rendering: optimizeSpeed;">Making a Standard % Brix Solution</h3><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">To make a Brix Solution, follow the procedure below:</p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; list-style-position: outside;"><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; list-style: disc outside;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">Place container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">Tare the balance.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">To make an X BRIX solution, weigh out X grams of high purity Sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1) directly into the container.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">Add distilled or deionized water to the container so the total weight of the solution is 100g.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0px 2em; padding: 0px;">Note: Solutions above 60% Brix need to be vigorously stirred or shaken and heated in a water bath.

Refractive index is a measurement of how light behaves as it passes through the sample. Depending on the sample’s composition, light will refract and reflect differently. By measuring this activity with a linear image sensor, the sample’s refractive index can be assessed and used to determine its physical properties such as concentration and density. In addition to the linear image sensor, the HI96801 uses an LED light, prism and lens to make measurement possible.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">Variations in temperature will affect the density of a solution based on the compound that is present. In digital refractometry the use of temperature compensation is necessary for accurate results. The HI96801 contains a built-in temperature sensor and is programmed with temperature compensation algorithms in accordance with the ICUMSA Methods Book Standard for a percent by weight sucrose solution at 20<span style="box-sizing: border-box;
