LACHOI Digital Display Refractometer
The Whirl-pak LACHOI Digital Display Refractometer is a high-precision, handheld portable instrument designed for the rapid measurement of concentration and refractive index. Featuring a large, easy-to-read LCD and Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), it provides instant, laboratory-grade results for sugar levels (Brix), salinity, or other liquid concentrations in the field or on the production line.
Description
Description
The LACHOI Digital Handheld series is engineered to replace traditional optical refractometers with a faster, more reliable digital experience. By utilizing a high-performance optical sensor and an integrated microprocessor, it removes the guesswork and human error associated with manual “eyepiece” readings.
Its ergonomic, water-resistant design (often rated at IP65) makes it durable enough for use in wet environments like kitchens, breweries, and chemical processing plants. With a high-hardness sapphire prism and a stainless steel sample well, it ensures long-term accuracy and easy cleanup.
Key Features
High-Definition Digital Display: Shows the measurement results, sample temperature ($°C/°F$), and battery status simultaneously on a clear, backlit LCD screen.
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Automatically adjusts readings for temperature variations between 10°C and 40°C, ensuring accurate data even if the sample or environment is warm.
Rapid Measurement: Delivers an accurate reading in as little as 2 to 3 seconds with a single button press.
Premium Sapphire Prism: Features a measurement surface made of sapphire glass, which is highly resistant to scratches and chemical corrosion compared to standard optical glass.
Micro-Sample Requirement: Needs only 0.2ml to 0.3ml of liquid to perform an accurate test, significantly reducing sample waste.
Multi-Function Analysis: Most models allow users to toggle between Brix (%) and Refractive Index ($nD$), providing versatility for different laboratory standards.
Waterproof & Easy to Clean: The IP65-rated induction tank allows for direct rinsing under a tap after use (avoiding the battery compartment), maintaining hygiene and preventing cross-contamination.
Automatic Power Management: Includes an auto-shutoff feature to preserve battery life when the instrument is not in use.
