They have another model that does 0 - 50%. Thanks for any insight!** A: Just looked at mine. The 0 to 85% Brix is the RANGE of Brix that this refractometer measures of sucrose. I use mine when making maple and birch syrup. Buy a few pipetts and have some steam distilled water on hand (not just osmosis water) to calibrate it. Great tool. **Q: How does this product compare to the Atago 3810 refractometer?** A: Obviously the price difference for starters, the milwaukee unit also uses a 9 volt battery versus the latter of AAA. i hjave used the milwaukee unit many times and had very little issues. The only downside to this unit is that you need to keep fresh 9 volt batteries on hand. it does use alot of battery power. **Q: Can this be used for DEF fluid?** A: Not what it is intended for. It is for measuring Brix sugar levels. **Q: Can this be used to measure TDS values of coffee brews?** A: No, this device measures Brix levels, which is thew sugar concentration in solution. ## Frequently Bought Together - MILWAUKEE'S Instruments MA871 Digital Brix Refractometer, Range 0-85% - Milwaukee Instruments MA800 Protective Hardshell Case for Refractometer and Photometers - KINGLAKE Plastic Transfer Pipettes 3ML,Essential Oils Pipettes,Graduated,Pack of 100, Makeup Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2698639-milwaukee-0-to-85-brix-digitial-refractometer-ma871](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2698639-milwaukee-0-to-85-brix-digitial-refractometer-ma871) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-29*
