Handheld Honey Refractometer, 3 Scales, ATC

The portable triple-scale refractometer for honey analysis is an optical instrument designed for the rapid and precise determination of the main quality parameters in beekeeping samples. It integrates three independent scales that allow simultaneous measurement of soluble solids concentration, relative density, and moisture content, facilitating a complete evaluation in a single reading.

The equipment has Automatic Temperature Compensation (CAT/ATC) operating in the range of 10 to 30 °C, which guarantees reliable results even with thermal variations during measurement. Its working ranges include 58–90° Brix for sugar concentration, 38–43° Baumé for relative density, and 17–27% for water content, with a reading precision of 0.5 units on each scale.

Manufactured with a metallic structure, it offers high mechanical resistance and durability, suitable for intensive use both in the laboratory and in the field. The eyepiece with diopter adjustment allows for a clear and personalized visualization, facilitating the accurate reading of results.

The usage procedure is simple: a small amount of sample is placed on the prism, the cover is closed, and the instrument is oriented towards a light source to obtain an immediate reading. Calibration is done using monobromonaphthalene and a reference standard included, ensuring the accuracy of the equipment.

The supply includes a complete set of accessories: protective case, sampling pipettes, adjustment tool, ocular protectors, and an ergonomic non-slip grip. Its compact dimensions (27 × 40 × 160 mm) allow for comfortable transport and practical use in any environment.

This refractometer is an essential tool for beekeepers, quality control laboratories, and honey producers who need to verify key parameters such as water content, sugar concentration, and density, ensuring the quality and stability of the final product.
