AR2008 Abbe Refractometer
Advanced Digital Precision for Laboratory Use
The AR2008 Abbe Refractometer is a state-of-the-art optical instrument designed for the precise measurement of the refractive index (nD) and Brix values in liquid, viscous, and solid samples. The sample is placed between a measuring and illumination prism, ensuring accurate and reproducible readings. With an integrated LED display, users can conveniently view measurement data, including temperature.
Equipped with a serial interface (RS-232, RS-422), the AR2008 allows direct data transfer to a PC or printer, making documentation and analysis seamless. To enhance accuracy, the device supports optional temperature control via a PT31 circulation thermostat, ensuring stable measurement conditions. This refractometer is widely used across chemical, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, and research industries, making it a versatile and essential tool for laboratory professionals.
