A refractometer (or Brix meter) is an analytical instrument that uses a high-resolution optical sensor to measure the total reflection of a light beam in contact with a sample. The instrument calculates the reflected light and displays the refractive index, which can be converted into Brix, HFCS, or other concentrations.
METTLER TOLEDO refractometers deliver accuracy, speed, and ease of use, with a range of portable and benchtop models available.
