ARIAS OptiMatrix™ 500 Refractometer

Clinical & Diagnostic Instrument Inquiry About this product

Exclusive, world-class precision in a dual-array system

The Arias OptiMatrix™ 500 is the world's first transmitted light refractometer with precision comparable to high-end automatic reflected light refractometers.

This dual-array, automatic refractometer eliminates the need for shadowline intersect interpretation and delivers consistently repeatable results. The Arias OptiMatrix™ 500 compensates for temperature and delivers the results on an easy-to-read digital display.
