Digital Refractometers with Peltier Temperature Control. Allrounder for measuring all liquid and pastes.

Features Kruss Refractometer DR6000-T

Powerful all-rounder: the DR6000-T

As a standard, the refractometer models DR6000-T and DR6000-TF are equipped with a Peltier element that controls the temperature of the sample up to 80 °C. There are four different models available for different requirements on accuracy, resolution and measurement range whereby you can access the same operation and functionality.

• Measurement of turbid or highly viscous samples
• With highly accurate internal Peltier temperature control
• Preinstalled and freely definable scales with conversions based on tables or formulas
• Chemical-resistant materials such as measurement prism made of sapphire, measuring tray made of stainless steel
• Intuitive operation via touch-screen display
• Complete data recording and backup including audit trail
• Flexible data export
• Compliance with global standards and norms

Typical applications

The DR6000-T models are the ideal solution for the pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage industries, flavors, fragrance and essential oil, petrochemical, metalworking and automotive industries, as well as hospitals, pharmacies and exam offices.

• Characterisation tests in research and development
• Identity test, purity control and concentration determination of raw materials, semi-finished products and end products
• Tracking of chemical processes during production
• Stability test
• Determination of the sugar concentration in semi-finished products and end products
• Determination of the solids content in solutions
• Determination of the purity in combination with a polarimeter
• Monitoring of the production of semi-finished products and end products
• Routine analysis with high sample throughput
• Determination of the sugar concentration in juices and alcohol-free beverages
• Determination of the alcohol or extract content in beer, spices, wine or spirits

• Incoming and outgoing goods inspection
• Checking medicines for pharmacopeias
• Analysis of body secretions
• Testing of the compliance with national and international standards

Conformity with national and international standards

A big advantage of normalized measurements is the comparability of the measurement results. Refractometers for specific measuring tasks are recommended as suitable measuring instruments in many international standards and guidelines. The requirements for the measuring devices, such as measuring accuracy and measuring temperature, are dependent on the respective measuring task and defined in each standard. We have compiled for you an overview of all known standards and guidelines, which refer to the refractometry.
