A refractometer is a device used to measure the refractive index (n) of a substance. In this article, we discuss what a refractometer is and how it works, the different types available and their ...

If a newborn calf fails to receive the right quantity and quality of colostrum quickly enough after birth it is four times more likely to die and twice as likely to succumb to infection. Feeding ...

Cleaning and calibrating a Brix refractometer every time it is used will ensure that colostrum quality is measured accurately and consistently. This will confirm whether the farm’s colostrum protocol ...

WHEN using a refractometer, it is important that a representative sample of grass is taken from each crop. Juice is extracted by mincing or preferably by freezing the sample (200-300g) for about six ...

Refractometers are versatile in their design and use, and are able to provide results as refractive indices, or in other cases, as direct measurements of parameters such as soluble solids, sugar ...
