An OPTi for All Occasions
The OPTi Digital Handheld Refractometer can be used for measuring fruit ripeness, fruit juices and
concentrates, carbonated beverages, alcohol content, and grape must, confectionery and jams, sugar, and many
other food applications. Industrial applications include the measurement of soluble oils, quenchants, glycols,
antifreeze, air-conditioning, and heat transfer fluids, aviation fuel inhibitors, airplane wing de-icing surfactants,
starch, textile surfactants, and more.
Food and Beverage
Used for testing the ripeness of fresh fruits such as grapes and tomatoes simply by squeezing a small amount of juice directly onto the refractometer prism. OPTi refractometers are used in the manufacturing of jam, marmalade, syrup, and other high sugar content products as well as quickly testing for moisture in honey direct at the hive. They are ideal for testing finished juices and other soft drinks.
Scales Include: Brix, °Butyro, HFCS, Salinity, Water in Honey, and more.
Beer and Wine
From home-brew beer to microbrewery and beyond, our refractometers have been helping brewers for years. In the beer world, refractometers are used to measure Wort prior to fermentation as well as determining alcohol content. We supply OPTi refractometers to vineyards around the globe so that grape ripeness can be checked before harvest, sugar content assessed and alcohol content measured in the final stages of production.
Scales Include: Brix, Wort SG, °Baume, Alcohol Probable, Oechsle, and more.
And Many More!
