INSANE PRICE FOR THE POWER!
DID WE MENTION THAT IT IS MADE IN THE USA? IT IS! One BRAND NEW MISCO VETMED02 - Refractometers have become essential diagnostic instruments in nearly all clinical practices. However, it is shocking to discover that so many practices are using instruments that are designed for human urine instead of using specially-designed veterinary refractometers. The MISCO VETMED02 Refractometer is a portable digital testing instrument designed for the determination of urine specific gravity in a clinical veterinary practice or testing laboratory. The VETMED02 may be used to instantly and accurately measure urine specific gravity with species specific scales for canine and large animal urine, as well as separate scales for testing feline urine. Research has shown that many veterinarians still use clinical human refractometers with protein scales based on a protein-to-nitrogen ratio of 6.25% instead of 6.54%, which studies indicate is a more accurate value for veterinary use. Furthermore, since many of these instruments are not temperature compensated, they will introduce an error into the readings if they are not taken at 20 ºC (68 ºF). Therefore, MISCO's VETMED refractometer utilize this 6.54% protein-to-nitrogen ratio. A large dual-line LCD display is easily read, even in dim light, and removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. The user interface consists of two buttons, one to take readings and the other to step through various scales or menu options - each unit comes with a 1 Year Warranty (which is better than the other digital Brix Refractometers)!
