The ARIAS 500 is the world's first transmitted light refractometer capable of automatic readings with precision comparable to high-end automatic reflected light refractometers. This semi-automatic refractometer eliminates the need for shadowline intersect interpretation and delivers consistently repeatable results.

The ARIAS 500 uses dual arrays to precisely measure Refractive Index, Brix, or equivalent concentration readings. Using the automatic mode, there is no need to position the shadowline within the crosshairs to achieve superior accuracy.

Six high intensity, LED internal light sources provide bright and even 589 nm illumination and make the Reichert ARIAS 500 suited for all types of samples including transparent, translucent, and semi-translucent liquids and solids.

Automatic reading mode allows the instrument to take a reading without the need for manually aligning the shadowline. No longer are there variations in readings between operators

The Reichert ARIAS 500 is the best of both worlds. See the difference.
