Compact digital refractometer:
Abbemat
- For all concentration measurements in a range from 10 °C to 60 °C, e.g. acc. to AOAC and for iodine number determination
- Automated data transfer via LIMS for maximum data storage
- Measure all liquid samples with the largest refractive index range of 1.30 to 1.72
For measuring the concentration and refractive index of liquids and pastes, the Abbemat 3X00 refractometers embody reliability, precision, and convenience. These benchtop refractometers offer you an exceptional combination of technical expertise and user-friendly operation. They are not affected by environmental conditions and require minimal cleaning and no maintenance. The premium technology and compactness of the Abbemat 3X00 refractometers transform time-consuming measurements into highly efficient quality control. Choose from three instruments designed to satisfy the requirements of your field of application and budget.
Key features

Precise concentration measurement for quality control
The Abbemat 3X00 series measures the concentration of binary solutions. With over 200 available methods – from acetic acid to Zeiss – Abbemat refractometers provide the quality control that you require.
- Refractive index
- Pharmaceuticals (methods acc. to Ph. EU / US / JP)
- Food (e.g. Brix, sucrose, glucose, iodine value)
- Beverages (e.g. Brix, invert sugar, sucrose, Zeiss)
- Chemicals (e.g. sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid)

For all types of samples
Measure all consistencies within seconds – from liquids to pastes.
- Measures even turbid, colored, or opaque samples
- Unaffected by environmental humidity, temperature, or vibrations
- Minimal cleaning required – just wipe down the measuring prism after each measurement

Easy to use right out of the box
The Abbemat 3X00 refractometers come ready to measure immediately after unpacking.
- Ready to measure immediately after unpacking
- Intuitive user interface allows access to all measurement-relevant features on a 5.8” color touchscreen
- Can be operated even while wearing gloves
- Automatic warnings if the measurement prism is not clean or the sample volume is too low

Space-saving, maintenance-free instrument
Abbemat refractometers have no moving parts and are maintenance-free, so operators can spend time measuring instead of worrying about downtimes.
Abbemat refractometers also fit nicely into any workspace – each model of the Abbemat 3X00 series takes up about the same space as a sheet of paper.
