    The document provides instructions for maintaining and using a refractometer to measure the Brix value of emulsions. Key points: 1) The refractometer should be calibrated at the same temperature as samples and never washed with water. 2) To clean, use a soft cotton swab to wipe the prism and cover plate. Store in a dry, safe place and avoid dropping. 3) Adjust the diopter until the scale is in clear view. Calibrate by adding water and adjusting the screw until the border is on the line.

    Instruction for refractometer (Brix 0-150/0)


    Maintenance and general information When this refractometer is calibrated it should be done in same temperature as the temperature where the emulsion sample is taken. After use you should never wash the refractometer, since this can cause water to enter the instrument. Use a piece of soft cotton (Iike the one which is delivered along with the refractometer) to wipe the prism and cover plate clean. You should storage the refractometer in a dry and safe place. Avoid dropping the instrument. We advise you to keep the refractometer in the box in which it is delivered. Do not keep the refractometer in corrosive environments. The calibration fluid should be kept in ts bottle. Avoid getting the fluid in contact with eyes or skin.

    NOTE! There are two scales in the instrument: MDT which is used for natural oils and M10 which is used for synthetic oils. Before use Point the refractometer towards a source of light and adjust the diopter (5) until you clearly see the scale. Calibration Open the cover plate (2). Ad a few drops of water to the prism (1). Close the coverplate and make sure the fluid completely covers the prism. Adjust the calibration screw (screwdriver is found in the box) until the border between light and blue is exactly on the line of calibration. In use Open the cover plate. Wipe the prism with a clean piece of soft cotton or other soft textile (one is delivered along with the refractometer) Add a few drops of the emulsion liquid to the prism and close the cover plate. Ensure that the fluid completely covers the prism. Point the refractometer towards a source of light, and you wil! instantly be able to read the value. The value is shown at the border between light and blue. After use Wipe the prism and cover plate with a clean piece of soft cotton or other soft textile. Never flush your refractometer in water; this wil! cause water to enter the instrument. Accessories: Cattan (or cleaning Pipette _
