Abbe refractometer

Function and Applications

Abbe bench-top refractometer measures refractive index ND and average color dispersion NF-NC of transparent and semi-transparent liquid or solid samples. It is a must-have equipment in factories, teaching institutes and science research centers related to oil, grease, pharmacy, paint, food and sugar analysis as well as for geological laboratories. It is unique thanks to its ability in measuring also solid samples, such as film, glass, and other transparent materials.
