Refractometer - Salinity - with ATC - 28%

This precision salinity refractometer is engineered to provide accurate, fast, and reliable measurements of sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration in water-based solutions, such as seawater and food preparation brines. It features an Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) system, allowing consistent results even when ambient temperatures vary-making it highly suited for field or laboratory testing environments. Its triple scale readout provides measurements in parts per thousand (PPT), specific gravity (SG), and NaCl percentage, allowing greater flexibility in applications such as marine biology studies, food technology experiments, or environmental science lessons. Whether in an educational setting or practical research, this tool offers a hands-on introduction to solution chemistry, concentration testing, and instrumentation.

Educational Benefits:

• Introduces students to the concept of salinity and its significance in environmental and biological systems.
• Teaches students how to handle and interpret scientific instruments using real-world measurements.
