Worth knowing before you order
The accuracy figure has been left out on purpose. The table prints ±0.00002 nD, ten times better than every other refractometer in the same catalogue covering the same range, all of which state ±0.0002 nD; that reads as a scanning or typesetting error rather than a specification, so ask for the accuracy in writing before you compare quotes. The other trap is temperature: -20 °C to +120 °C is the span the instrument will work over, not a span it will hold — the refrigerated circulating bath that actually controls the sample is an optional extra and a separate line item, and without it this instrument holds nothing.Specification
