From Hive to Table. The MISCO Digital Honey Refractometer provides a sweet solution for measuring honey moisture content…
Although designed specifically for state and federal inspectors responsible for the measurement and grading of honey, the MISCO Digital Honey Refractometer is equally beneficial to professional beekeepers, honey producers, honey mixers, honey brokers, or anyone requiring the absolute most accurate, repeatable readings of honey moisture content and % soluble solids.
The Palm Abbe refractometer for honey defines the highest level of development in honey measurement. It far exceeds the requirements for honey refractometers used in the classification and control of honey by the USFDA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Simply place one or two drops of honey in the stainless steel measuring cell, close the lens cover to prevent moisture absorption, and then press the button to obtain an immediate and precise reading of honey moisture content.
The magic behind the precision of the MISCO Digital Honey Refractometer is a result of the Palm Abbe OPTICAL-ENGINE®. This Optical-Engine combines high-precision optics with a linear detector array containing 1,024 elements, more than seven times the elements of the leading competitor. This detector array allows the MISCO Honey Refractometer to repeatably measure to better than +/-0.1% honey moisture content.
Since honey is comprised of a mixture of mostly fructose, glucose, and water, readings on the MISCO Digital Honey Refractometer are automatically temperature compensated using a special compensation specific to honey. This differs from other refractometers which use “sucrose” temperature compensation, instead of honey compensation. Refractometers using sucrose compensation will have a slight error at 25°C (77°F) and even more error as the temperature increases. Instruments without temperature compensation can be off by more than 3% (see our free guide for details).
Misco’s Honey refractometer features a precision-machined stainless steel probe with a lens cover that prevents further absorption of water. At the bottom of the probe, a sapphire prism—the hardest material next to diamond—provides a virtually unscratchable measuring surface.
The user interface of the Digital Honey Refractometer consists of two buttons and is both intuitive and easy to learn. A large 2-line backlit 24-character LCD display provides the user with an indication of the unit of measure (percent honey moisture) and the actual measured value. Full text prompts, various menu options, and error messages are also displayed.
If this were not enough, up to five scales of your choice may be programmed into the PA203 for a truly custom honey refractometer. Scales are available that read in Baume, moisture %, dissolved solids, honey specific gravity, and honey density. You can even mix and match other scales for other applications, like Wine, Brix, or Maple Syrup.
Although the Palm Abbe will calibrate to water alone, an optional calibration solution has been specifically prepared for the MISCO Honey Refractometer with a value of 18.6% Moisture, to help insure the most accurate calibration in this critical area of the scale.
