Highlights
- For all concentration measurements in a range from 10 °C to 60 °C, e.g. acc. to AOAC and for iodine number determination
- Automated data transfer via LIMS for maximum data storage
- Measure all liquid samples with the largest refractive index range of 1.30 to 1.72
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.
