Misco has launched the Digital Honey Refractometer, a line of hand-held digital refractometers designed for state and federal inspectors responsible for the measurement and grading of honey.
The Misco Digital Honey Refractometer is equally beneficial to professional beekeepers, honey producers, honey mixers, honey brokers, or anyone requiring accurate, repeatable readings of moisture content and per cent solids in honey.
Misco's proprietary optical-engine combines high-precision optics with a linear detector array containing 1,024 elements.
It allows the Digital Honey Refractometer to repeatedly measure with a precision better than +/- 0.1 per cent, comparable to more expensive, mid-range, bench-top laboratory refractometers.
The Misco Digital Honey Refractometer features a precision-machined stainless steel sample well with a cover that helps prevent further absorption of water.
At the bottom of the sample well, a sapphire prism provides a virtually unscratchable measurement surface.
The user-interface of the MISCO Digital Honey Refractometer is intuitive and easy to learn.
A large, two-line, 24-character LCD display provides the user with an indication of the unit of measure (per cent moisture or per cent dissolved solids) and the actual measurement value.
Full text prompts, various menu options, and error messages are also displayed.
The following standard instruments and scales are available: BKPR-2 - dual scale - honey moisture and honey dissolved solids; and BKPR-4 - four scales - honey moisture, dissolved solids, specific gravity, and density.
