Refractometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : EL-MI-4929
Jlab Export is a leading Refractometer Manufacturer,and suppliers in India

Refractometer (code EL-MI-4929) is a digital refractometer that reads sugar content from 0 to 85% Brix with 0.1% Brix resolution and automatic temperature compensation, used for mixing-ratio checks, quality and quantity control and purity determination in food-testing, chemistry and teaching labs. A reading takes about 1.5 seconds from a 100 µL sample. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

Specifications

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Refractometers?

Choose this refractometer for quick digital Brix readings with temperature compensation and the data features described in its listing. The Refractometer (Digital) covers the same Brix range and accuracy with simple two-button operation, the ABBE refractometer reads refractive index directly over a much wider range and adds dispersion, and the butyro refractometer is intended for fats and oils.

What Is the Refractometer Used For?

A refractometer measures how strongly a liquid bends light — its refractive index — which rises as more solids dissolve in it. This instrument expresses the result as % Brix, the sugar content of an aqueous solution in grams of sucrose per 100 g of solution, so it is used to check fruit juices, syrups and soft-drink concentrates, to confirm a mixing ratio, and for quality, quantity and purity checks on production batches. In teaching it supports food-science and chemistry practicals on sugar solutions of known concentration in colleges, universities and food-technology courses, and it sits alongside other analytical lab instruments in quality-control rooms.

Before a session, zero the refractometer with distilled or deionised water and wipe the prism dry. Place enough sample — at least 100 µL — to cover the prism completely and take the reading; the instrument also measures sample temperature and compensates the Brix value automatically between 10 and 40 °C. Between samples, rinse the stainless steel ring and flint glass prism with distilled water and wipe them with a soft tissue, never with anything abrasive that could scratch the prism. The unit switches itself off after 3 minutes without use to save the battery.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Scale — this model reads % Brix from 0 to 85%; choose the ABBE refractometer if you need refractive index values.
• Battery and data features — confirm the battery type and the touchscreen, database and network features you need, so the quotation matches your requirement.
• Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; for example one per bench group in a teaching lab.
• Accessories — wash bottles for distilled water and dropping pipettes for samples can go on the same enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this refractometer measure?
Sugar content as % Brix, from 0 to 85% with 0.1% Brix resolution and ±0.2% Brix accuracy. It also reads sample temperature from 0 to 80 °C.

Does it correct for sample temperature?
Yes. Temperature compensation is automatic between 10 and 40 °C (50 to 104 °F), so warm or cool samples within that band read correctly without a correction table.

How much sample does it need, and how fast is a reading?
At least 100 µL, enough to cover the prism totally. A measurement takes approximately 1.5 seconds under a yellow LED light source.

What powers the refractometer?
One battery, included, rated for 5000 readings, with auto shut-off after 3 minutes of non-use. The listing describes it as “9V AA”, so the exact battery type is confirmed when JLab quotes.

Can results be stored or shared?
The listing describes an integrated SQL database for storing data, with access via a network or a standalone PC, and a touchscreen for results and user management. State the data connection you need in your enquiry so it can be confirmed in the quotation.

How does it differ from the ABBE Refractometer?
This model gives a digital % Brix reading with automatic temperature compensation. The ABBE refractometer is an optical instrument that reads refractive index from nD 1.300 to 1.700, sugar from 0 to 95% and mean dispersion.

Who manufactures this refractometer?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.

OEM Manufacturer

JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian maker of laboratory instruments and teaching equipment, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The refractometer comes from JLab’s own works rather than from a trading house, so laboratories, colleges, dealers and importers deal with the factory directly; every unit is visually checked before dispatch, and repeat orders and after-sales queries go back to the same manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to all regions — Guinea in West Africa, Canada in North America, Eswatini in Southern Africa, Denmark in Northern Europe and Ecuador in South America are a few examples. Tender buyers can find details on the JLab tenders page.

Refractometers and Sample Handling Items

• Refractometer (Digital) — a portable digital Brix refractometer with two-button operation.
• ABBE Refractometer — an optical Abbe-type instrument for refractive index, dispersion and sugar percentage.
• Butyro Refractometer — for fats in oils, read on the butyro (oil) scale.
• Wash Bottles — translucent polyethylene squeeze bottles for distilled water when zeroing and rinsing the prism.
• Dropping Pipettes — rubber-teat pipettes for placing a few drops of sample on the prism.
