Baker Instruments B3032 Brix Refractometer 0-32% laboratory supply

Baker Instruments B3032 Refractometer

The Baker Instruments B3032 is a handheld brix refractometer designed to measure sucrose concentration in liquid samples. It provides a direct reading of sugar percentage using only two to three drops of fluid. The instrument is calibrated against the sucrose content found in 100g of cane sugar. It is intended for laboratory and field use where rapid sugar analysis is required.

Suited for juice and produce testing

This refractometer suits technicians, growers and quality-control staff who need to check sugar levels in fruit juices or similar aqueous solutions on the spot. The 0 to 32% range covers typical produce maturity and processing checks. Buyers who require a wider measurement span, automatic temperature compensation or digital data logging should consider other instrument types.

Simple optical operation

Using the device involves placing a few drops on the prism, closing the cover and reading the scale through the eyepiece against a light source. No power supply or warm-up time is needed. The main issues arise if the prism is not cleaned between samples, if the cover plate traps air bubbles or if the calibration screw shifts during handling, all of which affect reading accuracy.
