RX-5000i Digital Refractometers

Experience the ease of touch-screen technology

Complies with: HACCP; GMP; GLP Standards

RX-5000i Series 4 Measurement Mode Options
 
MODE-1 For maximum accuracy
  • Displays the measurement value once the sample reaches the target temperature
MODE-2 For fast results
  • Measures refractive index and temperature at fixed intervals and displays the estimated measurement value at the target temperature.
MODE-S For emulsion samples
  • Displays the measurement value once a certain level of sample stability is achieved.
MODE-3 For no temperature control
  • Provides an option to turn the thermo-module off. Without temperature control, the measurement value is displayed in 4 seconds after the START key is pressed.
 
Comes standard with a 2 year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects on everything but the touch screen from the date of the original purchase. The warranty period can be extended to 3 years if the product is registered with ATAGO. Register your instrument at:

Application Examples
Refractive Index

Refractive index is a common quality standard measure for pharmaceutical or chemical products. Measurements need to be taken at a constant temperature, commonly 20°Cm 25°C and 40°C.

The Rx-i series are equipped with the internal Peltier Thermo-Module, and measurement starts once the target temperature is reached.

Refractive Index
 
Brix
Brix is measured for quality control purposes in the food and beverage industries. Brix
 
Concentrations
The concentrations of industrial solutions are often monitored. Examples include water-based cutting oils and cleaning solutions, hydrogen peroxide, coolants, and alcohol solutions. Although the Brix scale is commonly used, user scales can also be programmed to display converted sample values. Concentrations

The illustrated home screen makes it easy to identify the operation of your choice. All basic operations - selecting scales and modes, taking and recalling measurements, and zero-setting - are at the tip of your finger. Recall last 500 measurements. Exporting data to a USB drive or a printer is only one touch away. The RX-i series is also equipped with a RS-232C port for direct computer connection. 4 levels of access control and 5 unique user passwords provide data security. The settings are user-configurable.

There is no need to re-set the scale, mode, and temperature of programmed user scales each time. With the RX-i series, entering, editing, and copying user scales is a breeze. Up to 100 scales can be programmed. Select the measurement style that is most suited for the sample. Using the ten key pad, choose the measurement mode, enter the wait time, number of continuous measurements, and target temperature. In addition to the refractive index (nD) & Brix scales, concentration scales for specific samples can be configured easily. Simply program corresponding refractive index values and concentration data points. The RX-i series comes pre-programmed with 22 of the most commonly used concentration scales.
       
Self Assessment Manual Calibration Settings Menu Theme Options
Self Assessment Manual Calibration Settings Menu Theme Options
The instrument can detect irregularities with the intensity of light or waveforms. Perform this assessment regularly to ensure accurate measurements. When measurement values differ among multiple units, manual calibration can be performed within the accuracy range to provide consistent readings across all units. Navigation through the settings menu requires no effort. The icons provide quick and easy visual identification of operation. Choose from 6 different theme options for the home screen. Customize it to your taste or change it daily to fit your mood.
