Handheld veterinary Brix refractometer with automatic temperature compensation (ATC) — optical Brix scale 0–32% for colostrum quality, urine specific gravity, and total protein assessment.
Product Overview
IWA-BM01 is a handheld optical refractometer with automatic temperature compensation (ATC) for veterinary use. The Brix scale (0–32%) supports colostrum quality assessment in calves and foals (Brix ≥22% = adequate IgG), passive transfer evaluation via serum total protein equivalent, and urine specific gravity proxy reading. Sturdy aluminum housing with rubber grip; ships in a hard plastic case with calibration screwdriver, dropper, microfiber cloth and user manual.

FAQ
Which species is the device validated for? Designed for veterinary POCT in canine, feline, equine, bovine and other companion / production animal species. Cross-check species-specific reference ranges in your literature when interpreting results.
How is the device cleaned between patients? Wipe the housing with veterinary-grade disinfectant wipes. The sample inlet area is wiped clean and single-use test strips / cartridges / capillaries prevent cross-contamination.
What is the calibration requirement? Each consumable lot is factory-calibrated. The device reads the lot calibration code automatically (where supported) or requires a one-time code entry per new lot.
