Atago High Accuracy Low Concentration Sucrose Calibration Solution
 |
 |
The Atago High Accuracy Low Concentration Sucrose Solution is a special reference solution used for calibrating and testing refractometers, particularly those that measure sugar concentrations in liquids. This solution is designed to ensure that the refractometer provides precise and accurate readings, especially for low-concentration sucrose solutions.
- * Shelf life for those solution is for 6 weeks.
Key Features of the Atago High Accuracy Low Concentration Sucrose Solution:
-
Precision Calibration: This solution is formulated to have a very accurate and known sucrose concentration, which helps calibrate refractometers to measure low concentrations of sugars precisely. It is ideal for applications requiring high accuracy, such as in the food industry, where low sugar content must be measured.
-
Low Concentration: As the name suggests, this sucrose solution is specifically designed for measuring low sugar concentrations. This is especially important in testing for lower levels of sucrose in various liquid samples, such as honey, fruit juices, and other food and beverage products.
-
Known Refractive Index: The sucrose solution has a known refractive index that corresponds to a precise sugar concentration at a given temperature (often around 20°C). This allows users to cross-check their refractometer readings against the standard value for this solution, ensuring the refractometer is functioning properly.
-
Ideal for Food and Beverage Testing: The solution is particularly useful for industries like honey production, beverages, and food processing, where accurate sugar concentration measurement is crucial for quality control and product consistency.
-
Temperature Sensitivity: Like most refractive index standards, the sucrose solution is temperature-sensitive. Refractometers should be calibrated at a specific temperature (often 20°C), as the refractive index can vary with temperature. Some Atago refractometers come with automatic temperature compensation to help mitigate these effects.
How It Works:
- The Atago High Accuracy Low Concentration Sucrose Solution is placed on the prism of the refractometer, and the refractometer is used to measure the refractive index of the solution.
- The refractometer's reading should match the known refractive index of the sucrose solution at the specified temperature.
- If the refractometer's reading deviates from the expected value, calibration adjustments can be made, ensuring the instrument's accuracy for future measurements.
Applications:
- Honey Testing: Used by beekeepers, honey producers, and food manufacturers to verify the sugar content and moisture levels of honey. This helps confirm the quality and purity of honey products.
- Beverage Production: Ensures the correct sugar concentration in soft drinks, juices, and other liquid products.
- Food Processing: Used in the food industry to measure sugar levels in syrups, sauces, or any product where sugar concentration is critical.
Benefits:
- High Accuracy: Provides precise calibration, especially for low sugar concentrations, making it ideal for testing products with delicate sugar content.
- Consistency: Helps ensure consistent measurements over time, crucial for quality control in production environments.
- Convenient and Easy to Use: The solution is easy to handle and use with refractometers, providing a straightforward method for calibration.
