4 measurement mode options

For maximum accuracy
Displays the measurement value once the sample reaches the target temperature.
For no temperature control
Provides an option to turn the thermo-module off. Without temperature control, the measurement value is displayed in 4 seconds after the START key is pressed.
For fast results
Measures refractive index and temperature at fixed intervals and displays the estimated measurement value at the target temperature.
For emulsion samples
Displays the measurement value once a certain level of sample stability is achieved.

    Measurement History
    Recall the last 500 measurements. Exporting data to a USB drive or a printer is only one touch away. The RX-i series is also equipped with a RS-232C port for direct computer connection.
  • High Security
    4 levels of access control and 5 unique user passwords provide data security. The settings are user-configurable.
  • Editing User Scales
    There is no need to re-set the scale, mode, and temperature of programmed user scales each time. With the RX-i series, entering, editing, and copying user scales is a breeze. Up to 100 scales can be programmed.
  • 4 Measurement Modes
    Select the measurement style that is most suited for the sample. Using the ten key pad, choose the measurement mode, enter the wait time, number of continuous measurements, and target temperature.
  • User Scales
    In addition to the refractive index (nD) and Brix scales, concentration scales for specific samples can be configured easily. Simply program corresponding refractive index values and concentration data points.
  • Special Scales
    The RX-i series comes pre-programmed with 22 of the most commonly used concentration scales.
  • Self Assessment
    The instrument can detect irregularities with the intensity of light or waveforms. Perform this assessment regularly to ensure accurate measurements.
  • Manual Calibration
    When measurement values differ among multiple units, manual calibration can be performed within the accuracy range to provide consistent readings across all units.
  • SET UP
    Settings Menu
    Navigation through the settings menu requires no effort. The icons provide quick and easy visual identification of operation.
  • Theme Options
    Choose from 6 different theme options for the home screen. Customize it to your taste or change it daily to fit your mood.

Digital Refractometers RX-i series Application Examples

Refractive Index

Refractive Index is a common quality standard measure for pharmaceutical or chemical products. Measurements need to be taken at a constant temperature, commonly 20°C, 25°C, and 40°C. The RX-i series are equipped with the internal Peltier Thermo-Module, and measurement starts once the target temperature is reached. Thermo-Module, and measurement starts once the target temperature is reached.

  • Fragrance and Food Additives
  • Pharmaceutical Products
  • Cosmetics
  • Petroleum and Organic Solutions
  • Oils and Fats
  • Detergents

Brix

Brix is measured for quality control purposes in the food and beverage industries.

  • Beverages and Fruit Juice
  • Jams, Honey, Liquid Sugar, Syrups
  • Condiments, Sauces, Soups

Concentrations

The concentrations of industrial solutions are often monitored. Examples include water-based cutting oils and cleaning solutions, hydrogen peroxide, coolants, and alcohol solutions. Although the Brix scale is commonly used, user scales can also be programmed to display converted sample values.

  • Chemical Solutions
  • Cutting Oil andQuenching Oil
  • Antifreeze and Coolants
