Ultra Low Volume Refractometer

Background Low Volume Refractometer

The Ultra Low Volume Refractometer (ULV) option is designed for situations where only a very limited amount of sample is available. This is often related to the biological sciences, but the ULV instrument will handle the same range of materials that a standard refractometer will.

Refractometer Design

Compared with a standard J257, J357, J457 refractometer the ULV model uses a smaller volume sample well design with steeper sides. To bring the sample to the exact measurement point, replace the presser with a sample locating stick. Using the ULV Refractometer presser, samples can be loaded quickly.

Refractometer Specification

The Ultra Low Volume Refractometer option is available on the J257, J357 and J457 refractometers. The specification of the refractometer remains as per the relevant technical bulletins except:

• Minimum sample volume is 10µl
• Maximum temperature is 60°C
