Vital Sine Refractometer

True saltwater salinity refractometer boasts quick and accurate measurement. Features the largest, sharpest scale display for the most accurate salinity and specific gravity readings available (±1.0% salinity and ±0.001 specific gravity). Unlike some models, the Vital Sine Refractometer is a true seawater salinity unit designed specifically for use with seawater and not just brine solutions.

Easy, no-tool calibration with automatic compensation for shifts in ambient temperature (from 10°- 30°C). Compact and portable for use anywhere. Metal housing and rubber hood protect unit and prevent light from entering eyepiece. Features built-in calibration ring, no-roll stand, rubber grip to insulate against hand heat, storage case, instructions, and more. Range: 0 - 100 parts per thousand salinity, 1.000-1.070 specific gravity.

Pinpoint 53.0 µS Calibration/Reference Fluid sold separately.

Easy to Use
Operation consists of placing 1 to 2 drops of the sample on the prism, closing the daylight plate over the sample, then looking through the focusable, cushioned-rubber eyepiece for the reading.

Accurate
Featuring the larges, easiest-read scale available with clear, sharp figures. These features significantly enhance the overall accuracy of our readouts - even when the instrument is used by several different operators. This model features a rubber grip on the body, which blocks the transmission of hand heat to reduce temperature errors.

Simple Calibration
The calibration ring eliminates the hassle of turning a calibration screw with a screwdriver while looking through the refractometer's eyepiece. Simply loosen the set screw, place a few drops of water on the prism, turn the built-in calibration ring until the shadowline is at zero, and secure the set screw - that's it.

Durable
Features a rugged construction for years of reliable use. The prism is mounted in all-metal housing which allows the sample and prism to reach temperature equilibrium quickly. Also features a non-roll stand to ensure that once the unit is set down, it won't be prone to roll off a table or benchtop.
