Standard EasyPlus Refractometers
Essential Benchtop Refractometers for Your Routine Applications
EasyPlus refractometers are analytical instruments that automatically measure the refractive index or Brix of liquids. They provide everything you need for routine applications in a strikingly small footprint: fast measurements with automatic temperature control, small sample volumes, low operator dependency, and more. The simple user interface and robust yet compact design make these refractometers ideal for scientists, technicians, or anyone who needs to measure refractive index or Brix in the lab or on the factory floor.
Advantages of METTLER TOLEDO’s EasyPlus Refractometers
Intuitive Operation
EasyPlus Refractometers feature an intuitive app-based user interface to minimize user training, while the integrated user guidance prevents operator errors. They also offer user management with password protection.
Suitable for the Lab or Production Area
Engineered with high-quality components and materials, our refractometers can withstand rough environments, and thanks to their compact size, they can fit anywhere!
Reliable QC Results
EasyPlus Refractometers simplify your routine measurements and instantly identify acceptable samples by setting up a range of tolerable limits for your sample. Color-coded results allow the user to quickly identify if a measurement is within or out of limits.
Enhanced Data Management
The EasyDirect PC software provides a simple and efficient way to manage data, including the creation of reports and graphs and monitoring of samples over time. Up to three EasyPlus refractometers or density meters can be connected, in any combination.
Automatic Temperature Control
The integrated Peltier temperature control quickly heats up or cools down the measurement cell, maintaining the sample reliably at the desired temperature.
SimpleCheck™ Performance Verification
SimpleCheck certified standards ensure reliable instrument performance. The embedded workflow guides operators through the refractometer's performance verification. Faster and error-free data entry can be done with the handheld barcode reader.
User Management
Define user rights with integrated user management. Up to ten users can be defined with three levels of rights: admin, expert, and operator. Access to the instrument is password-protected.

°BRIX – Sugar Determination by Density and Refractive Index
Many different types of sugars (e.g. sucrose, maltose, or glucose) exist as well as mixtures like high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Strictly speaking, °Brix is defined as the number of grams of sucrose in 100 grams of a water-sucrose solution. This white paper describes the measurement of °Brix with a density meter and a refractometer and explains the challenges of measuring samples other than pure sucrose solutions. Read more

FAQs
How do EasyPlus refractometers control the temperature of the sample during measurements?
The EasyPlus refractometers have a built-in Peltier temperature controller that heats or cools the measuring cell to the required temperature (e.g. 20°C). Once the sample is added to the cell, it is brought to the set temperature. As the sample volume is very small (a few drops), it takes only a short time for it to reach the desired temperature. The measurement is done in a few seconds.
What is a Brix refractometer?
Most refractometers measure refractive index and Brix. Brix is a unit used to measure the sugar concentration in liquids. Strictly speaking, °Brix is defined as the number of grams of sucrose in 100 grams of a water-sucrose solution. In practice, however, the content of other sugars or sweeteners is often also expressed in °Brix. A Brix refractometer is a refractometer which measures only Brix (it measures the refractive index and converts the measured value to Brix using an internal table).
What concentrations can be measured with METTLER TOLEDO EasyPlus Refractometers?
The Easy R40 has built-in tables for Sugar (Brix, HFCS42, HFCS 55, Invert Sugar, and Oechsle), Chemicals (1-Propanol, 2-Propanol, Ethylene glycol, Propylene glycol, Glycerol, Methanol, and NaCL) and Freezing point (Ethanol, Ethylene glycol, Propylene glycol, Methanol, and NaCL). The measured refractive index is automatically converted into the selected concentration.
Is the user interface available in different languages on the EasyPlus Refractometers?
The following languages can be selected in the EasyPlus refractometer’s setup menu: English, Italian, Russian, Polish, French, Portuguese, Bahasa Indonesia, Korean, Chinese, German, Spanish, and Thai. The same languages are also available for the EasyDirect PC software.
