Product description

High-precision Abbe bench refractometer with Nd 1.300–1.700 scale, ±0.0003 accuracy, and sugar concentration measurement.

The Abbe bench refractometer is a precision optical instrument designed for accurate measurement of refractive indices in the range of Nd 1.300 to 1.700 with a resolution of 0.0005 and an accuracy of ±0.0003 Nd units. It features a horizontal main prism and a secondary prism mounted on a hinge to facilitate precise sample placement and measurement.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Refraction index scale: Nd 1.300–1.700
  • Measurement precision: ±0.0003 Nd units
  • Scale division: 0.0005 Nd units
  • Sugar concentration scale: 0–95% (corresponding to Nd 1.300–1.530)
  • Sugar scale precision: 0–50% ±0.2%, 51–95% ±0.1%
  • Scale division for sugar: 0.25%
  • Thermometer scale: 0°C to 70°C with 1°C divisions, allowing temperature compensation during measurements
  • Physical dimensions: 140 x 100 x 235 mm
  • Weight: 4 kg

This bench-top refractometer is essential for precise optical characterization in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing workflows, especially for quantitative refractive index measurements and sugar concentration analysis critical to biomanufacturing and food science applications. Its robust design and accurate scales make it popular among researchers in synthetic biology and clinical diagnostics who require reliable refractive index data for molecular cloning and enzyme activity assays.

The integration of precise temperature measurement supports live-sample analysis under controlled conditions, making this instrument valuable for biomedical engineering and cell imaging technique development where measurement stability is paramount.

Overall, this Abbe bench refractometer offers a reliable and accurate solution widely adopted in biotechnology research environments and industrial quality control labs requiring high-fidelity refractive index and sugar concentration assessments.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
