Hanna Instruments HI96800 Digital Refractometer for Refractive Index and Brix

The HI96800 Digital Refractometer combines compact design with fast, accurate measurements of refractive index (nD, nD20) and % Brix (0–85%). With a 1.5-second response time, the meter provides readings with ±0.0005 nD and ±0.2% Brix accuracy, using an LED, prism, and linear image sensor. The dual-level LCD shows temperature and measurement simultaneously, and one-button calibration makes setup simple. Built with IP65 water-resistant casing and stainless steel sample well, the HI96800 is suitable for laboratory and field applications.

  • Refractive Index Range: 1.3300–1.5080 (nD), 1.3330–1.5040 (nD20)
  • Brix Range: 0–85% with ±0.2% accuracy
  • Temperature Compensation: Automatic between 10–40°C (50–104°F)
  • Compact & Durable: IP65 water-resistant ABS casing, 100 μL minimum sample

Description

The HI96800 Digital Refractometer is designed for quick and precise measurement of refractive index and Brix in food, beverage, and laboratory samples. Utilizing a yellow LED light source, prism, and linear image sensor, the instrument measures the behavior of light passing through a sample to determine concentration and density. Users can switch between temperature-compensated nD20, non-compensated nD, and % Brix readings using the “Range” key. One-button calibration with distilled or deionized water ensures ease of use, while the built-in temperature sensor and ICUMSA-based compensation algorithms deliver accurate results.

The meter is built for durability and portability, featuring a stainless steel sample well, upgraded dual-level LCD, and IP65 water-resistant casing for harsh environments. With a fast 1.5-second measurement time, battery indicator, and automatic shut-off after three minutes, the HI96800 provides reliable, efficient, and convenient measurements for field or laboratory applications where accurate sugar content and refractive index data are essential.
