Hanna Instruments – HI96801 – Digital Refractometer for Brix Analysis in Foods

The HI96801 Digital Refractometer is a portable, easy-to-use device for measuring sugar content in foods. Using refractive index and ICUMSA-based temperature compensation, it converts readings directly to % Brix from 0 to 85% with ±0.2% accuracy. Ideal for juices, honey, jams, sauces, soy milk, puddings, and more, it performs quick measurements in approximately 1.5 seconds. Its compact, water-resistant design with dual-level LCD and stainless steel sample well makes it perfect for both laboratory and field use.

  • Sugar Range: 0–85% Brix with ±0.2% accuracy
  • Sample Size: Minimal, only 2 drops (100 μL) required
  • Temperature Compensation: Automatic between 10–40°C using built-in ICUMSA algorithms
  • Portable & Durable: IP65 water-resistant casing with stainless steel sample well

Description

The HI96801 Digital Refractometer is designed specifically for food sugar analysis, providing precise and rapid measurements of sugar content in a wide range of samples such as fruits, juices, jams, honey, sauces, soy milk, puddings, and more. Using the refractive index of the sample and ICUMSA Methods Book tables, the instrument converts readings to % Brix, with automatic temperature compensation ensuring accurate results across temperature variations. The compact design features a dual-level LCD that displays both sugar content and sample temperature simultaneously, making operation intuitive and fast.

Built for both laboratory and field environments, the HI96801 features a stainless steel sample well, yellow LED light source, and easy-to-clean prism, while maintaining durability with an IP65 water-resistant ABS casing. With a minimal sample requirement of 100 μL, battery operation allowing up to 5,000 measurements, and an automatic shut-off to conserve energy, the HI96801 combines precision, portability, and user-friendly design for reliable sugar analysis wherever it’s needed.
