Exhaust Fluid) is a 32.5% urea\/water solution injected into diesel exhaust systems to reduce NOx emissions. Concentration outside the specification range (32–34%) reduces catalyst efficiency or can cause system fault codes. The MDX-602 measures urea percentage directly, confirming DEF quality before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan MDX-603 measure both ethylene glycol and propylene glycol?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eYes — MDX-603 has separate scales for both ethylene glycol and propylene glycol coolants. Select the appropriate scale based on which coolant type your system uses.

recommended storage and transport accessory for any lab or field operation that uses VEE GEE X-Series handheld refractometers. Vineyards and orchards that send refractometers out with harvest teams benefit from the case keeping dust and field debris away from the prism during transport. Lab benches where refractometers are stored in drawers or shared equipment bins benefit from the dust protection during idle periods. The soft case is also a useful upgrade for users who received their refractometer in the standard zipper bag and want longer-term storage protection without the bulk of a hard-shell field kit case.

calibration records. Food and beverage QC labs use it to verify instruments measuring concentrated syrups, honey, jams, and high-Brix fruit concentrates before production runs. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic labs use it to meet GMP calibration documentation requirements. Industrial labs use it to verify instruments monitoring high-concentration process fluids. The oil-based standard pairs with the water-based zero-point calibration that refractometers perform daily — together they provide a two-point calibration verification spanning the instrument's full range.

Oil-based standards like the 45000-OS025 verify accuracy at a defined non-zero point (here, 60% Brix) without evaporating off the prism during measurement. Because oil does not evaporate under ambient conditions, it provides a stable surface for repeatable readings, which is particularly valuable for multi-operator calibration checks and documented GMP\/GLP verification records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 45000-OS025 come with a NIST certificate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
