MISCO BKPR-4 Palm Abbe Digital Handheld Refractometer, Honey Scales, Specific Gravity, Density,% Solids, Moisture Content

With scales for Honey Moisture, Honey Percent Solids, Honey Specific Gravity, and Honey Density, the MISCO BKPR-4 Digital Honey Refractometer is ready for use by government honey inspectors, professional beekeepers, honey producers, honey mixers, honey brokers, or anyone requiring the absolute most accurate, repeatable honey measurements.

The magic behind the precision of the BKPR-4 Digital Honey Refractometer is a result of the Palm Abbe OPTICAL-ENGINE. This Optical-Engine combines high-precision optics with a 1,024 element linear detector array, more than seven times the elements of the leading competitor.

Since honey is comprised of a mixture of mostly fructose, glucose, and water, readings on the MISCO Honey Refractometer are automatically temperature compensated using a special compensation specific to honey. This differs from other refractometers which use "sucrose" temperature compensation, instead of honey compensation. Refractometers using sucrose compensation will have a slight error at 25°C (77°F) and even more error as the temperature increases. Instruments without temperature compensation can be off by more than 3%.
