Key features
Proven Peltier temperature control for all of our benchtop refractometers
Precise temperature measurement and control are prerequisites for accurate refractive index measurements. The patented T-Check system that is used for each device before it is delivered ensures surface temperature measurement and control accuracy of your automatic benchtop refractometer of up to ±0.03 °C.
- Traceable temperature check and adjustment
- Most precise prism-surface temperature measurement
- Prevention of temperature-induced errors
Fast concentration measurements
Speeding up of concentration measurements of binary solutions due to a simplified user interface and predefined methods.
- Refractive index and Brix measurements
- Eight additional methods (exchangeable)
- Short cycle times down to 10 seconds to measure and document results
- Low sample volume of 70 µL
Scratch-proof sapphire prism for long-term precise results
The sapphire prism each benchtop refractometer is equipped with guarantees the most precise results throughout the entire instrument lifetime.
- Resists cleaning with spatula or other lab tools
- Mohs hardness of 9, close to diamond-grade
- Backed by a 25-year warranty on the prism
Easy printing and documentation of results
The Abbemat Essential benchtop refractometers simplify results documentation with their optional label printer, allowing for fast and reliable printouts. This eliminates the need for manual data copying, reducing the risk of transcription errors, and ensuring that all recorded measurements are accurate and traceable.
Ready-to-use right out of the box
Our automatic benchtop refractometers are designed for immediate use with a no-frills user interface that requires no setup. The Abbemat Essential’s intuitive operation ensures that even first-time users can perform measurements effortlessly without the need for training. This minimizes errors and maximizes efficiency in any laboratory environment.
