    What maple producers have been waiting for! Simply get your digital reading with push button ease and compare the digital readout to the grading chart printed on the face of your meter. Measurements are performed by using matched square optical cuvets having a 10mm light path. These maple syrup transmittance analyzers measure the percent light transmittance of maple syrup as compared to analytical reagent glycerol. The transmittance value displayed allows easy and indisputable identification of syrup quality class.

    The HI 95759 and HI 95760 handheld, portable maple syrup transmittance analyzers are high precision, USDA (HI 95759) or Canada Federal and Quebec (HI 95760) compliant photometers that bring judging "by eye" to an end. Three button operation, battery powered with a rugged carrying case makes these meters ideal for extended field use.

    These meters are supplied complete with six sample cuvets, one light shield cap, two 5 mL syringes, 30 mL of glycerol, one 9 volt battery, instruction manual and a heavy-duty carrying case.

    Both meters read in percent transmittance (grades and equivalent below) and provide a digital readout with a precision of ±1%. Maple syrup transmittance analyzers measure the percent light transmittance of maple syrup as compared to analytical reagent glycerol. The transmittance value allows identification of syrup quality class.

    Measurements are performed by using matched square optical cuvets having a 10 mm light path. These meters incorporate an auto shut-off feature which turns the meter off after 10 minutes of non-use.
