The Kern ORA 1SA is an analogue manual refractometer designed for precisely measuring the salt concentration in various solutions, particularly in food production and preparation. Its key benefit is providing accurate, maintenance-free salinity measurements without complex calculations, thanks to its built-in, specially calculated scale and automatic temperature compensation. A caveat for users is that it requires manual operation and does not offer digital readouts or data logging capabilities.

The Kern ORA 1SA measures salt concentration with a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 100%.
No, the Kern ORA 1SA is an analogue manual refractometer and does not require batteries.
Calibration involves placing a drop of the supplied calibration liquid on the prism, closing the cover, and reading the value. Adjustments are made using the small screwdriver provided, aligning the reading with the calibration liquid's known value on the scale.
No, the Kern ORA 1SA is specifically designed for salt concentration (salinity) measurements. For sugar solutions, a model with a Brix scale, such as the Kern ORA 32BA, would be appropriate.
The refractometer is supplied with calibration liquid, a calibration block, a storage box, a pipette, a small screwdriver, and a cleaning tissue.
ATC automatically adjusts the reading based on the ambient temperature, ensuring accuracy even if the temperature of the sample or the surrounding environment changes during measurement.
The refractometer is not designed to be waterproof. It should be protected from immersion in liquids, and only the prism surface should come into contact with the sample.
Adjust the eyepiece focus until the scale is sharp. Ensure the prism and cover plate are clean.
Ensure the prism and cover plate are completely clean and dry before applying the sample. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the operating range for ATC. Recalibrate if necessary.
Recalibrate the instrument using the provided calibration liquid and block. Check if the correct scale is being used for salt concentration.
Make sure enough sample liquid is applied to cover the entire prism surface. Clean the prism and cover plate thoroughly.
