Highlights
- Ideal for concentration measurements of chemicals
- For quality control in the chemical, beverage, food, and petroleum industry
- Precise temperature control at 20 °C and 25 °C to be compliant with relevant ASTM and ISO standards
Key Features

The Abbemat 3X00 series measures the concentration of binary solutions. With over 200 available methods – from acetic acid to Zeiss – Abbemat refractometers provide the quality control that you require.
- Refractive index
- Pharmaceuticals (methods acc. to Ph. EU / US / JP)
- Food (e.g. Brix, sucrose, glucose, iodine value)
- Beverages (e.g. Brix, invert sugar, sucrose, Zeiss)
- Chemicals (e.g. sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid)

Measure all consistencies within seconds – from liquids to pastes.
- Measures even turbid, colored, or opaque samples
- Unaffected by environmental humidity, temperature, or vibrations
- Minimal cleaning required – just wipe down the measuring prism after each measurement

The Abbemat 3X00 refractometers come ready to measure immediately after unpacking.
- Ready to measure immediately after unpacking
- Intuitive user interface allows access to all measurement-relevant features on a 5.8” color touchscreen
- Can be operated even while wearing gloves
- Automatic warnings if the measurement prism is not clean or the sample volume is too low

Abbemat refractometers have no moving parts and are maintenance-free, so operators can spend time measuring instead of worrying about downtimes.
Abbemat refractometers also fit nicely into any workspace – each model of the Abbemat 3X00 series takes up about the same space as a sheet of paper.
