Example with 25% Brix: % Brix 25 g Sucrose 25.000 g Water 75.000 g Total 100.000 Making a Standard % Brix Solution To make a Brix Solution, follow the procedure below: • Place container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance. • Tare the balance. • To make an X % Brix solution, weigh out X grams of high purity sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1) directly into the container. • Add distilled or deionized water to the container so the total weight of the solution is 100 g. Note: Solutions above 60% Brix need to be vigorously stirred or shaken and heated in a water bath. Remove solution from bath when sucrose has dissolved. The total quantity can be scaled proportionally for smaller containers but accuracy may be sacrificed. Startup Screens When the meters are turned on, all of the LCD segments will be displayed followed by the percentage of battery life remaining. Calibration Perform a quick and easy calibration after startup: 1. Using a pipette, completely cover the prism in the sample well with distilled or deionized water. 2. Press the ZERO key. Unit Selection Just press the RANGE key to cycle through the units of measurement (HI96800). Measurement Achieve fast, accurate results: 1. Using a plastic pipette, place sample onto the prism surface until the well is full. 2. Press the READ key and the results are displayed in the selected units.
