- The NEW RX-5000α-Bev is a re-designed version of the conventional RX-5000α. A flat sample stage replaced the sample well to make it easier to wipe off the sample and to allow for a faster and easier clean up. The RX-5000α-Bev is ideal for measuring beverages and is equipped with all the standard features of the RX-5000α.
- This product comes standard with a two (2) year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects from the date of the original purchase.
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Software Included in Standard Delivery.

"The World's Highest Standard of Technology Stemming from Over Half a Century of Expertise"
Features
World's Highest Standard of Accuracy
The RX series are the most accurate of ATAGO refractometers programmed with a trusted and advanced algorithm. The epitome of which boasts the accuracy of ±0.000010 nD and ±0.005% Brix.
Main Features
- Visual "Pass/Fail" Indication
- Programmable User Scale
- Password Security
FDA 21 CFR Part 11
Software is available to support your FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
Ergonomically Designed Layout
The RX- a series was designed with ease of use in mind. Extensive research was performed in the design phase to ensure an ergonomic interface that made operation easy while maximizing efficiency.
4 Measurement Mode Options
MODE-1: For maximum accuracy
Displays the measurement value once the sample reaches the target temperature.
MODE-3: For no temperature control
Provides an option to turn the thermo-module off. Without temperature control, the measurement value is displayed in 4 seconds after the START key is pressed.
MODE-2: For fast results
Measures refractive index and temperature at fixed intervals and displays the estimated measurement value at the target temperature.
MODE-S: For emulsion samples
Displays the measurement value once a certain level of sample stability is achieved.

Application Examples
Refractive Index
Refractive Index is a common quality standard measure for pharmaceutical or chemical products. Measurements need to be taken at a constant temperature, commonly 20°C, 25°C, and 40°C. The RX-α units are equipped with the internal Peltier Thermo-Module, and measurement starts once the target temperature is reached.

Brix
Brix is measured for quality control purposes in the food and beverage industries. The RX-α units are widely used for fruit juice, condiments, jams, and honey. The RX-007α (minimum indication 0.001% Brix) is used for tea and unsweetened drinks.

Concentrations
The concentrations of industrial solutions are often monitored. Examples include water-based cutting oils and cleaning solutions, hydrogen peroxide, coolants, and alcohol solutions. Although the Brix scale is commonly used, user scales can also be programmed to display converted sample values.
