Brix Refractometers
You often hear the term brix and brix refractometer when testing samples for sugar content. Just what is a refractometer? A refractometer is an instrument that measures the refraction of light through a substance. The refractive index becomes higher in a substance of higher concentration.
A refractometer has a wide variety of uses such as measuring sugar concentrations and liquid concentrations. Refractometers are sometimes called “Sugar concentration meters” or “Density meters” depending on the application.
Brix and refractive index are common measurement scales for refractometers. A refractometer that measures brix is referred to as a Brix Refractometer. When measuring solutions that have multiple ingredients the Brix value equals the total concentration of dissolved solids.
About the Brix (%) Scale
Brix (%) shows the concentration percentage of the soluble solids content in a sample (water solution). The soluble solids content is the total of all the solids dissolved in the water, including sugar, salts, protein, acids, etc., and the measurement reading is the sum total of these. Basically, Brix (%) is the number of grams of cane sugar contained in 100g of cane sugar solution. When measuring a sugar solution, Brix (%) should perfectly match the actual concentration. With solutions containing other components, especially when one wants to know the exact concentration, a conversion chart is necessary.
Digital versus Analog Brix refractometers
Brix refractometers are available in hand-held (analogue) or digital models. Hand Held units are read by putting a drop of sample on the prism, closing the daylight plate and then reading the scale through an eyepiece as the instrument is held up to your eye. A hand-held/analogue unit determines the refractive index or brix by use of the “Transparent System” which measures light as it passes through the sample and the prism. A low concentration sample has a larger angle of refraction so the boundary line falls on the lower part of the scale, whereas a high concentration sample has a small angle of refraction so the boundary line appears in the upper part of the scale.
Digital Brix refractometers use the “Reflected light system. When you put a sample on the prism and press the Start button, the light that is transmitted from under the sample will travel and refract in multiple directions. The angle of reflection is proportional to the refractive index of the sample, and the reflected light is measured by a sensor and converted into the refractive index or brix readout.
Because of their versatility, brix refractometers are used widely to test sugar content in fruit, vegetables, wine and other food products.
