ABBE-Refractometer AR12

  • Broad measuring range
  • Simple handling
  • Small sample volume needed
  • Water bath lockable
  • Ideal for school/education

The Schmidt+Haensch ABBE refractometer AR12 is a classical, visual refractometer, named after its inventor Ernst AbbĂ© and designed for the determination of the refractive index of liquid media with high or low viscosity. It is used in the fast control of liquids and the “in-field analysis”.

The ABBE refractometer AR12 is equipped with hose connections at the prism unit for the thermostatisation of the optical parts. The temperature is measured with a digital thermometer. The measuring principle is based on the law of Snellius (law of refractive index) and is able to measure with transmitted or totally reflected light. With a contact fluid even solids can be measured with the ABBE refractometer.

Optional an illumination unit is available for prism and scale illumination with a red LED
