OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer - Primary (Brix/Refractive Index)

Regular price £299.00 Sale

This OPTi digital refractometer with temperature compensation has been designed with specialists in mind. Whilst scale A has been reserved for the full 0-95 Brix range, scale B is for Refractive Index. The 1.33-1.54 refractive index scale is in fact the primary scale from which all other scales are derived. You could, therefore, use this refractometer for almost any application (providing you had the information required to form your results).

For most users we recommend our application-based refractometer, however for specialist use this can be used for:


  • chemicals
  • surfactants
  • detergent blends
  • fertilisers
  • diesel fuel additives
  • anti-freeze fluids

Scale A is set to °Brix (ATC)

Scale B is set to Refractive Index (ATC)

Scale C is empty: User Defined 

The OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer - Primary (Brix/Refractive Index) scales are preselected at despatch, but may be reassigned using the scale selection method detailed here.

Portable, powerful, and ready to go

The OPTi® Digital Handheld Refractometer from Bellingham + Stanley puts a powerful, fully portable instrument in the palm of your hand. Powered by just 2xAAA batteries, the OPTi refractometer can take 10,000 readings in 50 common refractometer scales.
