ST-138C fully automatic refractive index meter with Peltier dual temperature control LED replaces the traditional sodium lamp
The ST-138C fully automatic refractometer (refractive index meter) is equipped with high-performance linear array CCD light-sensitive components. Through high-speed and high-precision signal acquisition and analysis processing technology, it is also equipped with a semiconductor Paltier super temperature control system. It can efficiently and precisely measure the refractive index (nD) of various liquids such as transparent, semi-transparent, dark, and viscous ones, as well as the mass fraction (Brix) of sugar solutions.
It complies with the determination of refractive index in General Chapter 0622 of the 2025 Edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, as well as GB 15680-2009 Palm Oil, GB1535 Soybean Oil, GB/T 1536-2021 Rapeseed Oil, GB/T8233-2018 Sesame Oil, GB/T 23347-2021 Olive Oil, and GB/T 19111-2017 Determination of Refractive Index of Edible oils such as corn oil and GB/T22479 pepper seed oil, and compliance with GB/T 614-1988.
General Method for Determining the refractive index of Chemical Reagents. The fully automatic refractometer is widely used in the oil industry, pharmaceutical industry, food industry, daily chemical industry, sugar industry, etc. It is also one of the commonly used devices in schools and related research institutions.
