Product information "Milwaukee MA873 Digital Refractometer for Glucose"

Digital refractometer for determining the glucose content in liquid samples. Featuring automatic temperature compensation, rapid measurement and a robust design for laboratory, quality control and production applications.

Milwaukee MA873 Digital Refractometer for Glucose

The Milwaukee MA873 has been specially developed for determining the glucose content in liquid samples. As a digital refractometer, it measures the refractive index of the sample and uses this to calculate the corresponding glucose content. The measurement results are shown directly on the display, enabling quick and convenient evaluation.

Digital data acquisition eliminates the need to interpret scales, as is required with traditional optical refractometers. This simplifies use and ensures consistent evaluation of measurement results. Thanks to its short measurement time, the device is suitable for both one-off measurements and regular monitoring tasks.

The integrated temperature compensation accounts for temperature fluctuations during analysis and ensures reliable determination of glucose content. Just a few drops of sample are sufficient for the measurement, allowing even small sample volumes to be analysed efficiently.

The refractometer features a robust housing and is designed for daily use in laboratories, quality control and production. The automatic switch-off function helps to conserve battery life and reduce energy consumption.
