Misco Palm Abbe Honey Refractometer

Features:

The Palm Abbe Honey Refractometer currently defines the highest level of development in the field of honey measurement. It far exceeds the requirements for honey refractometers used in the grading and inspection of honey by the USFDA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Simply place the a drop or two of honey in the stainless steel measuring well, close the cover to prevent the absorption of moisture, and then press the button to receive an instant, accurate reading of moisture content or dissolved solids content. The magic behind the precision of the MISCO Digital Honey Refractometer is a result of the Palm Abbe optical-engine. This optical-engine combines high-precision optics with a linear detector array containing 1,024 elements, more than seven times the elements of the leading competitor. This detector array allows the MISCO Honey Refractometer repeatably measure to better than +/-0.1% moisture or solids content. Since honey is comprised of a mixture of mostly fructose, glucose, and water, readings on the MISCO Digitial Honey Refractometer are automatically temperature compensated using a special compensation specific to honey. This differs from other refractometers which use “sucrose” temperature compensation, instead of honey compensation. Refractometers using sucrose compensation will have a slight error at 25°C (77°F) and even more error as the temperature increases. Instruments without temperature compensation can be off by more than 3%.
