1.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Reichert AR200
Digital Handheld Refractometer. This manual describes
the proper operation and care of this state of the art
instrument. The AR200 is capable of measuring %
Solids (Brix), % Solids-TC (Brix-Temperature
Compensated), Refractive Index and Refractive Index-
TC (temperature Compensated per ICUMSA Sucrose
temperature Coefficient). Although it’s main purpose is
to aid quality control personnel in Food and Beverage
applications it’s advanced features make it a well suited
instrument widely used for Medical, Pharmaceutical,
Industrial Fluids, Chemical and Petrochemical Industries.
An AR200 has the capability to measure Refractive
Index (nD) of liquid solutions to a precision of +/-
0.0001or % Solids (Brix) to +/-0.1 with a range of 1.3300
to 1.5600nD and 0 to 95% Solids (Brix).
Please note that an AR200 Refractometer is a high
precision optical instrument. It is absolutely necessary to
properly maintain the instrument to obtain the best
possible accuracy. This includes thoroughly cleaning the
prism and well after each sample and routinely
calibrating the instrument. Always store the instrument
with the well clean and dry.
