The AELAB Pocket Refractometer AE Series packs laboratory-level accuracy into a rugged, hand-held device. With Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), sapphire prisms, and finely-etched scales, each model delivers fast, reliable readings for food, clinical, industrial, and research applications—all without external power or bulky equipment.

Features:

Portable refractometers are very commonly used which can be used for low, middle, and high resolution Brix concentration. The low range can be used for high-precision measurement such as fruit juice, tomato juice, cola and most kinds of beverage. The middle range can be used for concentrated fruit juice, canned food, sugar solution influsions, sauce, ketch up, seasoning and many kinds of industry fluids. The high range is suited for use with food products of high sugar content such as liquid sugar, honey, etc.
They can be used for industry fluid testing, such as for vegetable oils, industry, and many other chemical liquids or laboratory use fluids. It provides a fast and accurate way to test the ratio and concentration in water soluble cutting oil and many other industrial fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How do I calibrate my pocket refractometer?

Use distilled water (0 %Brix) or a certified standard solution. Place a drop on the prism, close the cover plate, look through the eyepiece, and adjust the calibration screw until the boundary aligns with zero.

2Does the AE Series include Automatic Temperature Compensation?

Yes—every model features ATC, automatically correcting readings between 10 °C and 30 °C for consistent accuracy.

3Are the prisms scratch-resistant?

They are made from hardened optical glass; clean with a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid metallic objects to preserve surface integrity.

4What is the warranty period?

All AELAB pocket refractometers come with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and optics.

5Is GMP or ISO 9001 documentation available?

Calibration certificates traceable to NIST and ISO 9001 manufacturing records are provided on request.
