Introduction
Mettler Toledo Refracto 30PX and Refracto 30GS refractometers from Wolflabs. Refracto 30PX and Refracto 30GS are compact, easy-to use refractometers for measurements in laboratory and production environments. Depending on the application, these instruments can be used in two ways: Either put it on a flat surface and place a drop of sample onto the measurement cell, or immerse the sensor directly into the fluid. As soon as you press the measurement key, the result is displayed in the desired units on the backlit LC-Display.

Features and benefits
- The clearly labelled keyboard makes operation easy and efficient.
- The backlit LC-Display of Refracto shows your results and settings in plain language. The simple and intuitive menu structure allows you to change the settings within seconds. You hardly need an instruction manual.
- Refracto determines refractive index using the total reflection method. The glass prism of the measurement cell of the Refracto 30PX (right) is held by a stainless steel ring, whereas the prism of the Refracto 30GS (left) is made of sapphire, the ring of hard gold plated brass. Sapphire has a higher refractive index and a better thermal conductivity than glass. For this reason the Refracto 30GS has an extended measuring range and registers the sample temperature more quickly.
- Refracto stores up to 1100 results including sample identification, measurement unit, temperature compensation coefficient, date and time. You are free to transfer the data (together with an instrument identification) to a PC or printer any time using the infrared interface. The PC software to do this comes with Refracto.
- Refracto is a hand-held and a benchtop refractometer in one. You either place the instrument on a flat surface and add a drop of sample onto the measurement cell or immerse the cell directly into the sample.

Introduction
Mettler Toledo Refracto 30GS refractometer from Wolflabs. Refracto 30GS is a compact, easy-to use portable refractometer for measurements in laboratory and production environments. It offers an extended measuring range thanks to it's special prism design.

Features and benefits
- Refracto determines refractive index using the total reflection method. The prism of the Refracto 30GS is made of sapphire and held by a ring of hard gold plated brass. Sapphire has a higher refractive index and a better thermal conductivity than glass. For this reason the Refracto 30GS has an extended measuring range and registers the sample temperature more quickly. Refracto even measures dark samples correctly. You no longer need to rely on error-prone readings of dark/bright transitions as with optical instruments.
- The refractive index of a sample depends on temperature. During measurement, Refracto determines the temperature and then corrects the refractive index to a standard temperature of 20 °C or any other temperature the user defines. To make quick measurements of different types of samples, you can easily switch between up to 10 user defined correction coefficients.
- The backlit LC-Display of Refracto shows your results and settings in plain language. The simple and intuitive menu structure allows you to change the settings within seconds. You hardly need an instruction manual.
- The clearly labelled keyboard makes operation easy and efficient. As soon as you press the measurement key, the result is displayed in the desired units on the backlit LC-Display.
- Refracto stores up to 1100 results including sample identification, measurement unit, temperature compensation coefficient, date and time.
- You can transfer the data (together with an instrument identification) to a PC or printer any time using the infrared interface of the instrument. For this purpose an infrared / RS232 converter (51325006) is required.  Appropriate PC software comes with the instrument.
