Milwaukee MA872 Digital Refractometer for Fructose Milwaukee Instruments

Thousands of food and beverage professionals and hobbyists, from chefs and food quality professionals, wine makers, and beverage manufacturers have moved to digital Fructose measurement from less accurate and less precise optical refractometers.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Anyone who makes jams or beverages should find this product one of the best investments they make on any piece of equipment.”

“I am in love with this instrument. No more large samples. No more phony readings from badly made refractometers.”

“Dramatically improved my commercial production consistency & efficiency. 

“I used this for finishing jams and jellys. I had been trying to determine fructose content using a traditional optical refractometer. I found it very difficult to use. The digital refractometer was much easier.”

SUMMARY
