Portable refractometer available in two
versions

Mettler Toledo's Quick-Brix portable refractometer is available in two versions, the Quick-Brix 60 for fruit and vegetable growers and the Quick-Brix 90 for drink and food manufacturing

Quick-Brix 60 is ideal for fruit and vegetable growers to determine the right time for harvesting For measuring the sugar content - Brix - directly in the orchard, vineyard or field, a drop of juice is squeezed on to the measuring prism and the result is available at the touch of a button

Quick-Brix 90 has a wider measuring range and a higher accuracy and is well suited for drink and food manufacturing.

Ideal for analysing incoming raw materials or for performing quick checks next to the production line, Quick-Brix 90 is the perfect tool to make sure that food ingredients such as jam or honey have the right quality or that juice concentrates or tinned food have the right sugar content.

Both instruments come in a rugged splash-proof design and can be used in dusty or challenging environments.

For cleaning they can be rinsed under a tap and their small size and weight allows them to fit in your pocket.

Using just one button both instruments can be operated as well as calibrated, making it simple to use for any farm or production operative.

Digital measurement, as opposed to traditional optical Brix measurement, eliminates operator bias, so results are considerably more comparable. Request a free brochure from Mettler Toledo ...
