This conversion is based on the tables found in the ICUMSA Methods Book (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) that documents the changes in refractive index with temperature for a percent by weight sucrose solution. Since the majority of sugar in grape juice and must is fructose and glucose instead of sucrose, the reading is sometimes referred to as \"Apparent Brix\". Typical grapes at harvest will be between 19-24% Brix or degrees Brix (°Bx). The HI96811 is an easy-to-use tool for winemakers for measuring sugar in grapes or must, in the field or in the lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for wine sugar analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature Compensation algorithms based on sucrose solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0 to 50% Brix range with an accuracy of ±0.2% Brix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaking a Standard % Brix (Sucrose) Solution\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make a Brix Solution, follow the procedure below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTare the balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeigh out X grams of high purity sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1) directly into a beaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd distilled or deionized water to the beaker so the total weight of the solution is 100g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Solutions above 65% may need to be vigorously stirred or shaken and heated in a water bath to roughly 40℃ (104℉).

Refractive index is a measurement of how light behaves as it passes through the sample. Depending on the sample's composition, light will refract and reflect differently. By measuring this activity with a linear image sensor, the sample's refractive index can be assessed and used to determine its physical properties such as concentration and density. In addition to the linear image sensor, the HI96811 uses an LED light, prism and lens to make measurement possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariations in temperature will affect the accuracy of refractometry readings, so the use of temperature compensation is highly recommended for reliable results.
