Anton Paar’s Abbemat series of refractometers delivers highly accurate and efficient refractive index and Brix measurements, offering unparalleled support for quality control processes in the food industry. From raw material verification to process optimisation and final product analysis, these instruments ensure reliable results and operational efficiency for manufacturers and laboratories.
Engineered for precision, Abbemat refractometers achieve accuracy of up to ±0.00002 nD with a broad measurement range from 1.26 to 1.72 nD. By maintaining strict temperature control and employing precise wavelength calibration, they guarantee consistent results across a wide range of food products, including sugar, beverages, syrups, oils, and dairy. Factory calibration, performed with certified reference standards, ensure full traceability to metrological reference standards and minimises measurement uncertainty. This high level of accuracy supports food producers in meeting quality standards and strict regulatory requirements.
Durability and robustness make the Abbemat series particularly suited to the demanding environments of food production and analysis. The sapphire measuring prism – on which there’s a 25-year warranty – offers superior resistance to scratches and wear from laboratory tools, ensuring reliable long-term performance. The sample well, crafted from stainless steel, offers excellent resistance to common food-related substances.
Efficiency is a key feature of the Abbemat refractometers, enabling high-throughput workflows in food production facilities. With rapid cycles of up to ten seconds for measurement and documentation of the results, these instruments increase sample throughput without compromising accuracy. In addition, the refractometers integrate seamlessly with Anton Paar’s density meters and viscometers, creating automated multiparameter workflows to streamline quality control processes in food laboratories.
Through integration with Anton Paar’s AP Connect software, laboratories can ensure centralised, secure data storage with full traceability.
With their precision, speed, and durability, the Abbemat refractometers are tailored to meet the specific needs of the food industry. They empower laboratories and manufacturers to deliver high-quality products with confidence.
