1. Taking a sample
When preparing a sample to be measured, avoid large, solid pieces in the sample as much as possible. If the sample contains a lot of oil, try to avoid the oil as well. Place 20-50 grams of curry or stew into a beaker and mix well with a plastic spoon. Apply a few drops onto the prism surface.

2. Measuring Method
● Hand-Held Refractometers
1) After thoroughly mixing the sample, apply a few drops onto the prism with a plastic spoon. Make sure the sample is evenly spread over the prism when closing the daylight plate.
2) Look through the eyepiece. Read the boundary line where the blue and the white color meet. This is the Brix (%).
* The measured value may vary if the same sample is measured continuously due to the influence of oil and/or suspended solids present in the sample, or a change in the temperature of the sample.

3. Example for measurement value
● For curries and stews, the displayed value shows the total percentage of all soluble solids, including sugar, salts, acid, protein, oil, spices, starch, and other similar soluble solids.
● It is easy to maintain the taste by checking the concentration.
