Sucrose Solutions for refractometer performance verification and their calibration, traceable to NIST/ICUMSA
Sucrose Solutions are non-toxic, certified solutions covering the range 0-60 °Brix traceable to NIST/ICUMSA ideal for calibrating Brix refractometers. They offer ease of use when calibrating instruments that do not have temperature control and instead rely on sugar-based temperature compensation. Sucrose Solutions are often the preference of beverage, sugar and food producers as their components typically match the product under test. Sucrose Solutions are highly precise and have a low uncertainty (k=2) of ±0.011 Brix or better.
Our pure Sucrose Solutions are produced under our extensive scope of accreditation, manufactured and calibrated in our UKAS (ISO 17025:2017) accredited calibration laboratory no. 0834 in Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom. From there, we ship directly to customers across the globe.
We mix high quality analytical grade sucrose and AnalaR® water on a weight/weight basis and verify each batch using a high accuracy refractometer. Our Sucrose Solutions contain no additional stabilisers (preservatives) and so they may be considered as a primary standard.
UKAS (the United Kingdom Accreditation Service) assess and accredits organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services. UKAS is one of the signatories to the International Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation (ILAC) Arrangement for the mutual recognition of calibration certificates. This means that UKAS certified standards such as our Sucrose Solutions are recognised by local authorities such as DAkkS in Germany or A2LA in the USA. To find out who recognises UKAS in your country, please search the ILAC-MRA database. You can learn more about how a better calibration regime will improve your overall measurement performance leading to improved yields by visiting our blog.
Sucrose Solutions may be purchased via our online shop or through a network of global distributors. For convenience, a sucrose supply contract (subscription) is also available for customers wishing to receive a regular supply of calibration materials without the hassle of having to make individual purchases.
