Hi
At SUNY downstate at Bay Ridge we use a refractometer routinely. There are
various handheld meters which can read out to 0.0000 which can be important
when testing for fentanyl.

Good afternoon and happy new year!
We received a member question inquiring if hospitals are routinely using
refractometers to assess controlled substance concentration. Kindly respond if
your institution uses these devices.
Thank you.
