User questions & answers

Question:	My refractometer is impossible to calibrate... anybody else have issues or tips
Answer:	I used distilled water and put three drops on the prism. Close it so there is no air bubbles and right under the light it should have a blue tint to it. Just lining the Blue tint line to the 0 line.
Question:	does it measure brix for grape to know if it is ready to harvest for wine
Answer:	Yes it does. I've tested boxes of (Zinfandel) grapes from California in September that I use for wine-making and they've been in the neighborhood of 23-25 brix. I'm sure you can read about higher brix levels but that's about what I get for those grapes and this device. All you do is squeeze a drop or two onto the sloped lens, close the clear cover over so it smears, hold it up to the light and read the scale. You can try several grapes or crush a number of them together to get an average.
Question:	can I use this for melases ? and how to use
Answer:	I am assuming the by melases you mean molasses. I have not tried to measure the specific gravity (SG) of molasses but I suspect you will have trouble with pure molasses. The SG might be out of range and the dark color of molasses may make it hard to read. If the molasses is dissolved in water then yes you should be able to use the reflectometer. To use a refractometer first zero the refractometer using plan water close to the same temperature as what you are measuring. SG is dependent on temperature. Once zeroed dry the surface and put a couple of drops of what you want to measure on the refractometer and read the results. The refractometer is easier to read in bright light: sunlight or a flashlight.
Question:	Can i use this to test the sugar content of my homegrown fruits and vegetables
Answer:	Yes, you can.

Product features

Brix & Specific Gravity Refractometer

This refractometer is designed for measuring the suger content and specific gravity of liquids. A Brix Refractometer that includes a specific gravity scale. You won't have to do conversions between Brix and gravity when doing measuring, you'll get the two index in one time. Best of all, it only requires a few drops of liquid for an accurate reading. No need to lose a whole hydrometer test jar of beer or wine in the process.

DUAL SCALE

Rapidly and precisely display the Brix (0-32%) and Specific Gravity (1.000-1.130) at the same time, no need to switch unit for readings each time!

ATC FUNCTION

The build-in Automatic Temperature Compensation feature makes it get consistently accurate reading, no need to control the liquids temperature deliberately, just make sure it's at roomtemperature ( during 0-25 ℃) .

SAFE AND DURABLE

This refractometer is constructed with non-staining, non-corrosive and non-reactive chromium material which make sure hygiene and safety for all users.

EASY TO USE

User questions & answers

Question:	does it measure sugar content diectly from the fruit? grape?pear
Answer:	Brix measures the amount of solids in solution. That means it will measure sugar but also all other nutrients that are in the juice. It’s not just sugar.
Question:	Can I measure sugar level in food or fruit with this refractometer
Answer:	Yes, it can.
Question:	Can I use to check sugar content of fruit
Answer:	Thank you for your question! This brix refractometer can measure the sugar content of any fruit juice, including apple juice, up to 32% sugar. Just press the apple flesh to extract the juice and remove any solids from the sample to get the most accurate reading.
Question:	Can this be used for calf colostrum
Answer:	Yes, it can.
