Loading... Please wait...With a range of 0-65% Brix (that's 1.000 to 1.320 SG), It will handle any job you throw at it with a resolution of 0.1% Brix
Refractometer comes with Storage Case, Carrying Case, 2 Prism Covers, Plastic Transfer Pipet, 9 V Battery and Instruction Manual.
VEE GEE® PDX-Series Digital Refractometers perform at the highest level available in a portable digital design. All models are exceptionally simple to operate, are loaded with high-end features and functions, and provide fast and highly accurate results.
Easy to Use. Operation consists of placing 1 or 2 drops of a sample on the prism and pressing the READ/ENTER key; within 1 second, the reading is shown on the extra-large LCD display. With one push of the ZERO/CALIBRATE button, ALL units easily calibrate with distilled water.
Automatic. The LED light source detects the refractive index (nD) of the sample, the thermo-sensor detects current prism temperature, and the result is calculated and quickly displayed in the selected scale on the LCD readout.
Durable. All PDX-Series models feature rugged construction to provide years of reliable use. The water resistant design allows them to be used in humid or harsh conditions; the stainless-steel sample well stands up to even corrosive samples.
Compact & Portable. The small size and battery power (9 V) of the PDX-Series models allow them to be used anywhere the field, plant, lab, kitchen, porch or driveway.
Professional Features. High-Resolution (2048 pixels) linear CCD sensor; extra-large, menu-driven LCD display; push-button operation; real-time prism temperature display in either °C or °F; Brix and Refractive Index (nD) scales on all units, automatic temperature compensation (with ON/OFF) function, power auto-off function; battery-level indicator.
Custom High & Low Limits. Allows users to automatically monitor the readings of samples by individually setting high and/or low limit values. If a reading falls above or below the set values (like testing the run-off from your mash), the red LED and the high or low limit LCD indicators flash until a key is pressed.
Go with a name you can trust for the highest level in laboratory instruments...choose VEE GEE.
Note: Once calibrated with distilled water, the refractometer is accurate for taking your Original Gravity readings. Once fermentation has started, the alcohol created throws off the reflectivity in a measurable way. We have a handy calculator for convering your final gravity reading. Click here for calculator.
