Calibrating handheld refractometers correctly

A handheld refractometer is an indispensable measurement device when precise values are required for water, sugar or salt content. Whether in food control, beverage production, beekeeping or in the laboratory – correct calibration is the basis for precise analyses and high measurement quality.

Regular calibration: Temperature changes, wear and tear or environmental influences can affect the accuracy of a handheld refractometer. Regular calibration detects such deviations at an early stage and ensures that the device continues to work precisely. A well-calibrated refractometer provides consistent results and prevents measurement errors that can be caused by external factors.

BRIX - Value

Examples for the measurement %BRIX:

Brix measurement provides precise quality parameters along the entire process chain – from plant growth to the final product and quality assurance.

Plant vitality: For analyzing plant vitality and the degree of maturity. A high Brix value in the sap indicates a strong photosynthetic capacity, high mineral density and resistant crops.
Ripeness control & harvest planning: Farmers use the Brix measurement to determine the optimal sugar content of fruit. This allows the ideal time for harvesting to be planned precisely.
Food industry & product monitoring: Brix measurement is used in the food industry to monitor sweetness and product quality. Examples: Juices, soft drinks, jams, preserves, honey. Compliance with defined quality standards is guaranteed.
Wine and beer production: Winemakers and breweries measure the Brix value in grape must or wort to calculate the potential alcohol content. This enables precise control of the fermentation process in quality assurance.

Temperature compensation

A KRÜSS Optronic handheld refractometer with automatic temperature compensation (ATC) provides exact measured values at all times, without the need for time-consuming tempering of the sample or complex conversions.

In handheld refractometers, a bimetal strip is used for automatic temperature compensation. The user looks through the handheld refractometer and sees the temperature-compensated value directly through the adjustment, without a conversion table
The result: stable, comparable and standard-compliant Brix values, even if the sample temperature is between 10 °C and 30 °C
