0-80% Brix Refractometer
This refractometer is designed for measuring sugar content in sugary liquids such as fruit juice, honey, maple syrup and other . The 0-80% large scale range makes it be suitable in wider field. This refractometer is almost equivalent to a regular brix plus a honey refractometer, but you just need to spend about half money. It only requires a few drops of liquid for an accurate reading, No need to lose a whole hydrometer test jar of sample liquids in the process.

Product Features
Large Scale Range
The 0-80% large scale range makes it be suitable in wider field. This refractometer is almost equivalent to a regular brix plus a honey refractometer, but you just need to spend about half money.
Safe and durable
This refractometer is constructed with non-staining, non-corrosive and non-reactive chromium material which make sure hygiene and safety for all users.
Easy to use
Just take a few drops of your liquids on the prism and hold the refractometer to the light, then look through the eyepiece, you can get the reading. No need lookup table and no waste!
Portable compact package
The refractometer comes with dropper, screwdriver, user manual and cleaning cloth, all included in a hard compact case, the item dimensions is 8"x3"x2", the item weight is only 8.8 ounces. makes it very portable and easy to carry.
intended Use 1
Used for sugar content control in food & beverage producing.

This product does a good job at getting close to your desired reading level.I use refractometers for making maple syrup. For my use I need a device for checking the sugar levels (brix) in the sap from the tree. This requires a device that reads between 0 and 10. With a 0-80 range it is hard to tell with any precision what the reading is at the bottom of the scale.As I boil the sap it will eventually cook down to syrup. The desired reading to know, for sure, that the sap has 'officially' become maple syrup is 68. Again, the 0-80 scale does not afford the precision I need.My recommendation would be to purchase 2 refractometers from this line. They make a 0-32 scale and a 58-90 scale. Both are much more precise than the 0-80 unit. Each of these is around $20.00.

I use this to test my jams and jellies prior to canning. I was able to prove the difference between volume and weight measurements for regular granulated sugar and pure cane organic granulated sugar. I also use this for our honey moisture content analysis. I recommend to other homesteaders to have one.

Bought for making slushies with my vevor machine. When using Mr Margarita mix or Island Oasis mix and Bacardi Silver rum it seemed to never get frozen enuff. So I thought buying this would help me to know where my sugar content was. I was at 15% ...they say that's where it should be, but I find it firms up better closer to 20%. Thanks to this new tool I can check the sugar content easily. Island Oasis mix has way more flavor than Mr. Margarita, but Mr Margarita is cheaper and cleans up easier. I've tried both and went back to Island oasis.

I got this to use with a slush maker that I purchased. It has a sensor that tells you when the sugar content is too high or low, but I still had problems with the solution not freezing. Using this it was easy to tell what the problem was and I was able to correct the issue and have wonderful adult slushes.Very easy to use and simple to clean up.The container it comes in seems durable and sufficient to protect the device. The device itself is much heavier than expected for the price and seems very well made.Already recommend to a friend and they purchased one for themselves.

I’m a backyard maple syrup producer. I do about 50 taps a year just looking for a way of reading my sugar content before my boil and before I run it through my RO system this seemed to measure or at least give me a comparison of what it was before and after the RO. As for the accuracy of it, I have nothing to really compare it to like I said it’s great for a comparison before and after

We used the instrument to measure the sugar content of a small batch of maple syrup. Before using we double checked the calibration with distilled water and found it to be right on. Looking through the viewfinder against a bright background provided a clear view of the scale and incremental readings. All in all it was easier and faster than using a hydrometer and provided an accurate reading. No buyer regret here.

I now have three of these: a 0-30, which I use to judge when to move concentrating maple sap to the finisher, a 55-95, which I use to roughly judge near-finished syrup and also honey, and now a 0-80, just because. The first two are easier to read due to the narrower range (bigger numbers on the recticle), but the 0-80 is quite usable in bright light (all three have an adjustable focus on the eyepiece for vision correction). I have a big 7” calibratable Leader Evaporator maple syrup thermometer that is highly accurate for syrup sugar concentration (219 degrees F = 67.5% sugar +/-0.25% once calibrated to adjust for barometric pressure) and I find both the 55-95 and the 0-80 to be pretty accurate (+/-1-2%?). Not quite enough for production, but great to figure out when I need to pay attention. They are robust little buggers though I’ve never dropped one. I’m sure the $250+ models are much more accurate. But for my uses and at this price point, these are great. I just wish they weren’t made in China!

Very easy method for gauging when maple syrup is concentrated enough. It only requires a few drops of sap or partially boiled sap to get an accurate reading. Will read as low as 0% Brix which is distilled water. Maple syrup is ready at about 60 to 65% Brix. The sap before any boiling down measured about 1.5% Brix. Since you get the full range you can check at any stage to see how much more boiling away is needed. For example, if it reads 30% Brix you need to boil until it is twice as concentrated and half the volume. When taking samples of hot boiling sap with the eye dropper you do have to wait about a minute for it to cool down before measuring, but it did not seem to affect the reading accuracy much if the liquid wasn't exactly at room temperature.To avoid getting air bubbles in the thin area between the glass plates it seemed to be helpful to lay the top plate down slowly and to apply the right amount of liquid. If air bubbles do get in, it seemed easiest to just start over by wiping clean and applying new drops of liquid.It is easy to clean between readings. I wiped surfaces with a damp tissue followed by a dry tissue to dry.Highly recommended for small-scale maple syrup making.
