Kern Analogue Refractometer ORA 2PA
Kern Analogue Refractometer ORA 2PA
MSE Supplies offers a Analogue Refractometer from KERN & SOHN GmbH. They are the ideal helper for getting started with the analysis of your optically active solutions in the laboratory.
Refractometers are well-established instruments used for measuring the water content of liquids. It measures the refractive index of the liquid, which changes according to the moisture content.
Country of Origin: Made in Germany
Manufacturer: KERN & SOHN GmbH
Product Features
- The models in the KERN ORA-P range are universal, maintenance-free analogue manual refractometers
- The handy and robust design allows the easy, efficient and sustainable use in everyday life
- Manually calculated conversions and errors of the user are avoided by multiple selectable scales.
- These scales are especailly developed, exactly calculated and checked. They are also characterized by their thin and clear lines.
- The optical system and the prism cover are made of special material which allows a low-tolerance measuring.
- All models are fitted with an eyepiece which can be adjusted easily and smoothly to different visual capacities
- The temperature compensation ("ATC") enables accurate measurement at different ambient temperatures (10 °C to 30 °C)
- Included with the delivery:
- Storage box
- Calibration solution
- Calibration block if necessary
- Pipette
- Screwdriver
- Cleaning cloth - Further accessories are available optionally.
- This model is particularly suitable for the measurement of the specific gravity (sg) in urine, the quantitiy of serum (serumproteine) in urine (doping control among athletes), and the refractive index.
Applications
The main scope of applications is:
- Hospitals
- Doctor´s practise
- Medical training institutions
- Nursing homes
- Sports medicine (doping test)
