(AMETEK: Buffalo, NY) -- Reichert Technologies, a business of AMETEK and a global leader in designing, engineering, and manufacturing refractometers and analytical instruments, has rolled out the latest enhancement of its Refractix Refractometer, now capable of measuring Brix to a hundredth of a decimal. Since its launch in late 2023, Refractix has redefined the refractometer market, setting new standards with its innovative and advanced features in a convenient handheld platform.

Measuring Brix to a hundredth of a decimal allows for more precise sugar/sweetener content measurements, which is critical for maintaining taste and quality, and controlling raw material costs of food and beverage products. This enhancement ensures consistency in products such as juices, syrups, and soft drinks, where maintaining consistent sweetness levels is key. 

However, the versatility of Refractix extends beyond the Brix measurement. It also has scales to cater to the needs of the chemical, veterinary, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries, providing precise measurements and reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

“This enhancement allows us to provide even more precise Brix measurements,” says Phillip Page, Reichert Life Science sales manager. “Refractix continues to set the standard for refractometry and allows us to better serve our food and beverage customers.”
