The J47 and J57 Series of Automatic Refractometers

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the J47 and J57 series of automatic refractometers by Rudolph Research Analytical, highlighting their application in the food and beverage industry for measuring sugar content and other parameters with high accuracy and efficiency.
Specifications: The J47 and J57 refractometers offer different models with varying measurement ranges and accuracies. The J57HA provides high accuracy with ±0.01 BRIX and ±0.00002 RI, while the J57WR offers a wide range of 1.3-1.7 RI. Both series are equipped with synthetic sapphire prisms for durability and easy cleaning.
Procedures: The refractometers are designed for ease of use, requiring minimal sample preparation and offering quick measurement results. The J57 series includes temperature control for precise measurements of samples at extreme temperatures, while the J47 series uses temperature correction for sugar-based samples near ambient temperature.
Norms and Standards: The instruments are factory calibrated using NIST traceable fluids and can be operator calibrated to ensure compliance with ISO guidelines. They support traceability and high standards in production processes.
Recommendations: The J47 series is recommended for sugar and water samples, while the J57 series is suitable for non-sucrose based samples requiring precise temperature control. The instruments are ideal for high-volume, 24/7 operations in the food and beverage industry.
Advantages: Compared to traditional ABBE refractometers, the J47 and J57 offer superior performance with electronic temperature control, reducing user errors and maintenance costs. They feature a user-friendly touchscreen interface and robust construction suitable for industrial environments.
Key Features: The refractometers include a USB port for data storage, a durable sapphire prism, and a compact design. The J57 series offers variable temperature control, enhancing measurement accuracy and stability.

Laboratory Quality Refractometer Superior Performance over ABBE Refractometers Traditionally the food industry has used an ABBE refractometer either with or without a water bath. Over their comparable useful lives, the cost of replacing the water bath and the Abbe’s dual glass prisms compared with the cost of owning a Rudolph Research J57, with its single sapphire prism and electronic temperature control, make the Rudolph actually less expensive to own than the cost of using an ABBE. ABBE refractometers require the user to make a reading by eye and may result in errors due to shadow-line interpretations....

Easy To Clean Measurement Surface No matter how good a refractometer is, the results will only be right if the prism is clean. Rudolph’s flat prism design makes cleaning easy, even with sticky syrups. The flat low profile sample well with a sample volume of less than 1ml is easily cleaned by wiping with a common paper towel. A single cleaning surface with scratch-proof sapphire prism makes the J Series popular for high throughput laboratories. Standard Prism and Sample Dish Ultra - Flat Prism and Sample Dish The flat open sample area has no corners to trap even sticky materials and is resistant...
