Atago Abbe Refractometer DR-A1-Plus

Atago Abbe Refractometer DR-A1-Plus

Product Description

The Atago Abbe Refractometer DR-A1-Plus is an advanced optical instrument designed to measure the refractive index (nD) and Brix percentage of various substances. Building upon the capabilities of its predecessor, the DR-A1, this model features an enhanced, brighter field of view, facilitating easier measurement of inhomogeneous or dark samples. The DR-A1-Plus maintains the same operational procedures and specifications as the DR-A1, ensuring continuity for users familiar with the previous model. Its robust design and precise measurement capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of applications in laboratories and industrial settings.
