Matfer Bourgeat 250122 Details

Add the Matfer Bourgeat 250122 refractometer to your kitchen supplies to precisely determine the sugar content of foods. Used to measure the light refraction in food, a refractometer helps determine when you've reached the right sugar content to pick fruits for the perfect sorbets and fruit juices. Plus, it comes with a protective box to keep it safe from grease or food splatters in your busy kitchen!

Using the % Brix measuring system, this refractometer determines concentrations between 0% and 50%, making it ideal for foods such as sorbets, ice creams, and fruit juice concentrates. It is precise to + / - 1% so you can be sure of the results. Keep this device in your kitchen to determine the sugar content of your delicious foods and serve the best product possible every time.

To calibrate, open the cover plate (2) and put one or two drops of distilled water onto the prism. Close the cover plate and press it lightly. Holding the refractometer tube (4), aim the prism end (1) of the refractometer in the direction of a bright light. If needed, set the focusing ring of the eye piece (5) until the scale can be seen clearly. At this point, the corresponding scale should read zero. If it does not, slowly adjust the setting screw (3) to adjust the light and dark limit to read zero on the scale. Once calibrated, any shifts in ambient temperature between 50 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit will not affect the accuracy.

To use, open the cover plate and put one or two drops of the solution to be measured onto the prism. Close the cover plate and press it lightly. Again holding the refractometer tube, aim the prism end in the direction of a bright light. Through the eye piece the light and dark limit should read above zero to the actual reading of the measured solution.

After measurement, clean the remaining liquid off the surface of the prism and cover plate with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Do not wash with water to avoid potential water damage. Store in a dry, clean, non-corrosive environment. Do not touch optical surfaces.
