Description

The ATC Milk Refractometers YR05937 – YR05938 from Kalstein are essential tools for precise milk analysis. These handheld, portable refractometers are designed with a milk scale that measures within the 0.0 to 20% range. They boast an optical glass prism and durable metal body with a comfortable rubber grip. Two models are available: the YR05937, which also includes soybean and Brix measurements, and the YR05938, optimized for milk measurements. With the convenience of ambient light operation, there’s no need for a power source or batteries. Featuring Auto Temperature Compensation (ATC), these refractometers ensure accurate results regardless of temperature fluctuations.

Price in the Market

When searching for high-quality refractometers, price often reflects the robustness and precision of the tool. The average market price for the ATC Milk Refractometers ranges between 60 USD and 180 USD. This competitive pricing places these refractometers among the most cost-effective in the industry, without compromising on reliability or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I calibrate the refractometer? Calibration is simple and involves using distilled water to set the device to the zero position before testing milk samples.
• What is the ATC function? ATC, or Auto Temperature Compensation, automatically adjusts the refractometer’s readings to account for temperature variations.
• Can it measure any liquid other than milk? Model YR05937 is versatile and can measure soybean and Brix, whereas model YR05938 is exclusively for milk.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The ATC Milk Refractometers offer exceptional durability with their aluminum construction, effortless calibration, and ease of use without a power source. However, the focus on ambient lighting may limit usage in low-light environments, and high humidity may affect readings.

Product Use in the Field

The compact and portable design of these milk refractometers makes them ideal for use in dairy farms and laboratories. Simply place a few milk drops on the lens via a pipette, focus the eyepiece, and read the milk concentration instantly. The ATC feature ensures accuracy even with changing temperatures, crucial for on-the-go testing.

Recommendations

For optimal results, clean the prism after each use to maintain accuracy and prevent residue build-up. Store the refractometer in a dry place, and avoid dropping or subjecting it to extreme conditions to ensure longevity.
