Model Specification Features and Benefits
J57WR Automatic Refractometer Measurement Range: 1.26 - 1.70 RI; 0 - 95% Brix
Accuracy: 0.0001 RI; 0.1 Brix
Electronic Temperature Control: Fixed temperature selection: 20°C and 25°C
Many aromatic substances such as Cinnamic/Aldehyde have refractive indices above 1.60 RI. For this reason, most flavor/fragrance labs choose a wide RI range refractometer like the J57WR.
J57WR-UF-SP Automatic Refractometer Measurement Range: 1.26 - 1.70 RI; 0 - 95% Brix
Accuracy: 0.00004 RI, 0.03 Brix
Electronic Temperature Control: Fixed temperature selection: 20°C and 25°C
Excellent model for the flavor and fragrance industries. Designed to be used with automation. Not suitable for waxes or VERY high viscosity samples. Seen above in combination with optical rotation, density/SG and color.
J257 Automatic Refractometer Measurement Range: 1.26 - 1.70 RI; 0 - 95% Brix
Accuracy: 0.0001 RI; 0.1 Brix
Electronic Temperature Control: Flexible temperature selection between 15°C - 70°C
This is our most popular stand alone model for the flavor/fragrance industry. Its wide RI range 1.2 - 1.7 measures all known products. Its non-contact sample cover improves performance for evaporative samples. Presser can be upgraded to allow automation in the future.
J357 Automatic Refractometer Measurement Range: 1.26 - 1.70 RI; 0 - 95% Brix
Accuracy: 0.00004 RI; 0.03 Brix
Electronic Temperature Control: Flexible temperature selection between 15°C - 100°C
More accuracy and features generally needed by the industry. This model is sometimes chosen when the customer sells most of their product to the pharmaceutical industry and wants 21CFR Part 11 compliance.
