Hanna Instruments Digital Refractometer for Measuring Sodium Chloride in Food

Model: HI96821

The Hanna Instruments HI96821 Digital Refractometer is a high-precision instrument designed to measure the sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration in food products. It provides fast, accurate, and reliable results, making it an essential tool for food producers, quality control laboratories, and research facilities.

This refractometer converts the refractive index of a sample into three measurement units: sodium chloride (NaCl) percentage by weight (% w/w), practical salinity units (PSU), and specific gravity (20/20). It is ideal for testing the salt content in sauces, condiments, brines, dairy products, and processed foods.

Key Features

• Fast & Accurate Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Measurements

  • Measures sodium chloride concentration from 0.0 to 28.0% w/w with ±0.2% accuracy.
  • Displays results in % NaCl (weight), PSU, and specific gravity.

• Digital LCD Display for Easy Readings

  • Large dual-line LCD screen shows NaCl concentration and temperature simultaneously.

• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)

  • Ensures accurate readings in temperature variations from 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F).

• Easy One-Button Calibration

  • Quick and simple single-point calibration using distilled or deionized water.

• Durable & Water-Resistant Design

  • IP65-rated housing protects against spills and moisture, making it ideal for food processing environments.

• Small Sample Volume Requirement

  • Requires only two drops (100 µL) of sample for testing.

• Fast Response Time

  • Provides instant results in just 1.5 seconds.

• Portable & Battery Operated

  • Compact and lightweight design with long battery life (5000+ readings per battery set).
