Application examples

Refractive Index

Refractive Index is a common quality standard
measure for pharmaceutical or chemical products.
Measurements need to be taken at a constant
temperature, commonly 20˚C, 25˚C, and 40˚C. The
RX-i series are equipped with the internal Peltier
Thermo-Module, and measurement starts once
the target temperature is reached. Thermo­Module, and measurement starts once the target
temperature is reached.

Brix

Brix is measured for quality control purposes in
the food and beverage industries.

Fragrance and
F

ood Additives

Petroleum
Organic Solutions

and

Pharmaceutical Products

Oils and Fats Detergents

Cosmetics

Concentrations

The concentrations of industrial solutions are
often monitored. Examples include water-based
cutting oils and cleaning solutions, hydrogen
peroxide, coolants, and alcohol solutions.
Although the Brix scale is commonly used, user
scales can also be programmed to display
converted sample values.

4 measurement mode options

For maximum accuracy

Displays the measurement value once
the sample reaches the target
temperature.

Beverages and
Fruit Juice

Chemical Solutions

Jams, Honey,
Liquid Sugar, Syrups

Cutting Oil and
Quenching Oil

Condiments,
Sauces, Soups

Antifreeze and Coolants

For emulsion samples

Displays the measurement value once a
certain level of sample stability is
achieved.

For fast results

Measures refractive index and
temperature at fixed intervals and
displays the estimated measurement
value at the target temperature.

For no temperature control

Provides an option to turn the thermo­module off. Without temperature control,
the measurement value is displayed in 4
seconds after the START key is pressed.
