Refractive Index Measurement Guide - How to Achieve the Best Results in Day-to-Day Refractive Index Measurement |
This guide explains what precautions should be taken to prevent errors when measuring the refractive index, Brix, or concentration of liquids and much more.
We present extensive background information and recommendations on:
Tests and adjustments:
- How often should a refractometer/Brix meter be tested or adjusted, and with which substances?
- Which is better, regular tests or regular adjustments?
Samples:
- Which types of samples can be measured with a digital refractometer?
- What are possible effects on measurements?
Sampling:
- How can air bubbles be avoided?
Cleaning:
- What are the best methods of cleaning the cell?
- Which solvents should be used for each sample type?
Verification and documentation of results:
- How to ensure that measurement has not been affected by air bubbles or residual solvent?
- How to automatically verify if a result is within specifications for a given product (quality control)?
These are just some examples of what you will find in this guide, but there is much more!
