Peltier temperature-controlled bench-top refractometer delivers thermally stable results across a wide refractive index (RI) range: 1.30 to 1.70 RI and four decimal place resolution. The refractometer, model RFM960-C is suitable for use in the flavours, fragrance, chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. The isntrument has a large, 4-in high-definition colour display, providing a user interface that is easily configured by the operator via intuitive set-up menus. Additionally, over 4,000 results can be saved or exported as secure PDF files via USB or Ethernet connection.
SMART thermal control rapidly equalizes the sample temperature and displays the result only when pre-set criteria has been reached, such as sample temperature stability being held to within +/-0.02 °C for a number of consecutive readings.
RFID swipe technology is standard, providing clearance and record of operator and configuration functions, which is especially useful when being used in FDA-controlled environments operating in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11, or where good practice is adopted, e.g. as part of HACCP.
Measurements are made through a normal measuring mode or by way of a simple methods system with one-touch configuration of scale, temperature and data storage, with results being saved alongside pre-set limits that can be used as an audit tool. Methods may be user-defined or selected from the on-board library. Bellingham & Stanley
