Laboratory Brix Analysers

Our LR05 range of laboratory and at line brix analysers cover a wide range of brix measurements with varying levels of accuracy. These benchtop brix monitors allow the user to take samples from various locations to be analysed by the LR05 system. The user-friendly touch screen interface provides the operator with clear and precise results of the brix concentration. The LR05 also stores the historical record of the data which can be exported via USB or directly over the network using the in-built Ethernet networking port.

LR05 accuracy comes in various models from 0.05 Brix to 0.01 brix depending on the model selected.

Laboratory Soft Drink Brix Analyser

Our DR10 laboratory soft drink brix analysers cover a wide range of brix analysis from ultra low concentrations in Diet soft drinks to regular soft drink products . This benchtop soft drink brix analyser allows the user to take samples from various locations to be analysed by the DR10 system.

Typical refractometer questions answered by our experts

Brix is a term used in industry for the % of sugar concentration in a liquid. For many processes it is important to measure the brix concentration in the product as it is manufactured and before dispatch. The sugar is a costly part of most products, so to control this accurately can have huge cost savings for a business. Brix measurement devices as mentioned above help to assist in the measurement and control of the Brix or sugar concentration level in an aqueous solution. 1 degree of brix is equivalent to 1% sugar in the liquid.
Brix analysers use light to measure the angle of refraction from the process liquid. An LED is used to send light into the product and the reflected angle is measured via CCD image. The CCD will have light and dark areas depending on the angle of refraction. From this CCD image a calculation can be made of the brix concentration.

Brix is a measurement of the dissolved sugar in a liquid. Example – 1 degree Brix equates to 1 gram of sugar in 100 grams of water. The brix scale is 0-100 brix equating to 0-100g of sugar in solution.

This is calculated in a weight/weight basis. 10g of sugar in a 100g sample would be 10% or 10 Brix on the scale. A refractometer is the simplest most accurate device to measure the brix/sugar / liquid ratio.
Sugar levels in fruit are measured by testing using a brix analyser to measure the solids of sugar. High sugar fruit examples would be persimmons and grapes.
Brix values are important for consumers to be aware of the sugar concentration in a liquid, it is also important for the product manufacturer to measure and control the brix level during production.
In-line refractometers can be used for many applications. Refractometers can measure any binary solution and its concentration. Applications vary widely and different refractometer models and accessories may be needed depending on the application. The range of applications covered is vast and if you have a specific requirement please contact one of our experts to discuss your requirements further [email protected]
