The Reichert AR7 Series Automatic Refractometers incorporate built-in Peltier electronic temperature control to eliminate the need for a water bath circulator and improve accuracy in the measurement of Refractive Index, Brix, or equivalent product concentration values. The expanded reading range of 1.33000 to 1.60000 Refractive Index and the full Brix scale covers most applications.
Two models are now available:
-AR700 with Precision to 0.01 Brix or 0.00001 Refractive Index
-AR70 with Precision to 0.1 Brix or 0.0001 Refractive Index.
Built-in Peltier Temperature Control (User Definable, 10 to 100 Degrees Celsius) - Reduces operating cost by eliminating the need for an external water bath circulator. Improves the accuracy and ease of temperature control. Reduces the amount of benchspace required for operation.
Fully Automatic Readings Including Automatic Temperature Equilibration Detection - Reduced operator error. No more shadowline to interpret and no more countdown timers to monitor. Just apply the sample and press READ, the instrument monitors the sample to ensure stability, then takes a fully automatic reading. Can read all sample type, including transparent, translucent, and opaque liquids.
Sapphire Prism and Stainless Steel Sample Well - Reduced maintenance costs. The sample measurement surface and sample well are virtually indestructible.
1.33000 to 1.60000 Refractive Index Range (Full Brix Range per ICUMSA) - Wider reading range ensures that virtually all samples may be analysed on one instrument.
Custom Scale Capability (Storage of up to 14 Unique Scales) - Users can program these units with correlation formulas converting refractive index and temperature into product concentration. Hundreds of scales are available, or users can create their own for their unique products. Readability and measurement unit names are user definable as well.
Five Button Operation with Graphic Display and Simple, User Friendly Software - Extreme simplicity of use for anyone from swing shift production line operators to laboratory technicians and research scientists, while offering flexibility in supervisor controlled sample analysis protocols.
Universal AC Power Transformer - Operates from any power source from 100 to 220 Volts and 50/60 Hz.
