ATAGO RX-5000α Automatic Digital Refractometer

ATAGO RX-5000α Automatic Digital Refractometer

The RX-5000α (alpha) is an automatic digital refractometer which has a thermo-module to control temperature, a constant temperature water bath is not necessary. It displays the top-and-bottom-limit-bar for your set control range.

The ATAGO RX-5000α is an automatic digital benchtop refractometer designed for precise measurements of various liquid concentrations. Here are some key features of the RX-5000α:

1. Measurement Ranges:
   • Refractive index (nD): 1.32700 to 1.58000
   • Brix (%): 0.000 to 100.00%
2. Resolution:
   • Refractive index (nD): 0.00001
   • Brix (%): 0.01%
   • Temperature: 0.01°C
3. Accuracy:
   • Refractive index (nD): ±0.00004
   • Brix (%): ±0.03%
4. Temperature Control Range:
   • 5.00 to 60.00°C
5. Output Options:
   • Printer (compatible with ATAGO digital printers)
   • Computer (RS-232C connection; USB port requires an optional USB to RS-232 adapter)
6. Dimensions & Weight:
   • Main Unit Dimensions: 37 × 26 × 14 cm
   • Main Unit Weight: 6.4 kg
7. Optional Accessories:
   • Digital Printer (DP-RD)
   • MAGIC™ (metal and resin versions)
   • Funnel-type Flow Cell
   • Sucrose Solutions (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%)
   • Printer Paper for DP-RD
   • Ribbon Cassette for DP-RD
   • Fan Filter Replacement
   • RX Cover
   • Calibration Certificate (NIST-traceable; increases lead time by 2 to 3 weeks)

The RX-5000α eliminates the need for a constant temperature water bath due to its built-in thermo-module. It’s commonly used in the food and beverage industry for measuring sugar content (Brix) and refractive index.
