# RA-130 Refractometer

Portable Refractometer with computer and printer connection capability

## Light weight with high precision and 1100 data storage![RA-130 Portable Refractometer.png](https://www.scientificgear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/RA-130%20Portable%20Refractometer.png?width=320&name=RA-130%20Portable%20Refractometer.png)

### Wide measuring range (0~85% / Refractive Index 1.3200 ~ 1.5000)

This handy portable refractometer can easily transfer data to your computer via the infrared port or connect directly to a mini printer for immediate printout of results.

Uses of the RA-130 include:

- Measurement of sucrose concentration of fruit juices
- Measurement of sucrose concentration of jam and honey
- Brix measurement on beverages
- Brix measurement on liquid seasonings
- Concentration control on pharmaceutical and medical liquid samples![RA-130 with printer connection.png](https://www.scientificgear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/RA-130%20with%20printer%20connection.png?width=306&name=RA-130%20with%20printer%20connection.png)![Screen Shot 2018-01-03 at 2.19.44 PM.png](https://www.scientificgear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202018-01-03%20at%202.19.44%20PM.png?width=320&name=Screen%20Shot%202018-01-03%20at%202.19.44%20PM.png)

# BX-1

Portable Brix Meter

![BX1.jpg](https://www.scientificgear.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BX1.jpg?width=320&name=BX1.jpg)The Portable Brix Meter BX-1 is a handy portable brix meter which can be used anywhere with easy measurement.  After putting the sample on the prism, a brix measurement will be displayed on the screen in 2 seconds. Due to the wide measuring range (0 ~ 85%) it is unnecessary to use multiple meters.

Typical application samples include:

- Fruits and Vegetables; Apples, Oranges, etc
- Beverages and Alcoholic Drinks; Jucies, Teas, etc
- Foods; Chocolate, Jelly, Pudding, etc
- Seasonings and Sugars; Soy Sauces, Vinegars, Syrups, etc
