The Palm Abbe Honey Refractometer currently defines the highest level of development in the field of honey measurement. It far exceeds the requirements for honey refractometers used in the grading and inspection of honey by the USFDA, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Simply place the a drop or two of honey in the stainless steel measuring well, close the cover to prevent the absorption of moisture, and then press the button to receive an instant, accurate reading of honey moisture content. Since honey is comprised of a mixture of mostly fructose, glucose, and water, readings on the MISCO Digitial Honey Refractometer are automatically temperature compensated using a special compensation specific to honey. This differs from other refractometers which use sucrose temperature compensation, instead of honey compensation. Refractometers using sucrose compensation will have a slight error at 25C (77F) and even more error as the temperature increases. Instruments without temperature compensation can be off by more than 3% (see our free guide for details). Although the Palm Abbe will calibrate to water alone, an optional calibration solution has been specifically prepared for the MISCO Honey Refractometer with a value of 18.5% Moisture, to help insure the most accurate calibration in the this critical area of the scale.
