Beschreibung

General description

The amount of sugar in an aqueous solution is measured in degrees Brix (symbol °Bx).One gram of sucrose in 100 grams of the solution equals one degree Brix, which measures the solution′s strength as a percentage of its weight (%w/w).

Application

• This reference material is for use as a calibration standard for refractometers which gives measurement results in degrees Brix
• The use of this standard for determining sugar content is also possible in the wine and beer, sugar, fruit juice, honey, starch, and sugar manufacturing industries

Features and Benefits

• Each product has five ampoules, and each ampoule contains an 8ml solution
• Accompanied by technical data sheet that includes information about extended measurement uncertainty calculated according to ISO 17025
• Traceable to recognized national standards, and to units of measurement recognized at the National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) and Physical Technical Institute (PTB)
• Solutions that are stable, ready to use, and have long minimum shelf lives
