With its wide measurement range (Brix 0.0 to 53.0%) the PAL-1 works perfectly in measuring almost any fruit juice, food, or drink, such as soup, sauce, ketchup, tomato sauce, low-sugar jam, or marmalade.

 

Since the measurement range of PAL-2 is Brix 45.0 - 93.0%, it can measure various high concentration samples such as jam, marmalade, jelly, honey and concentrated juice.

 

The new PAL-3 covers all applications of the PAL-1 & PAL-2 with its amazing wide measuring range of Brix 0.0 to 93.0%. This allows you to keep just one instrument in your pocket for all of your applications.

 

Released on ATAGO’s 65th Anniversary, the PAL-a (alpha) is a special model with a wide brix range (0-85%) offered at a very reasonable price. PAL-a is useful for measuring most kinds of samples as well as samples that are in the cooking process.

 

The PAL is equipped with the following features:

  • Surprisingly compact in size allowing for portability and use indoors or outdoors. Weighing only 100g, they can be placed in a pocket or hung from your neck or belt.
  • Measurements can be made easily while holding it in just one hand. The sample stage is designed to keep sample solutions from spilling out.
  • The speedy performance of the PAL is amazing. Simply put a drop of a sample on the prism surface and press the START key. The Brix value (sugar content/concentration) will be displayed in just 3 seconds. With a digital LCD display, others can view the measurement value without the worry of misreadings due to the subjectivity of each person (as with traditional analog refractometers).
  • The International Protection class of the PAL is IP65, so it can clean thick samples under running water.
  • The Automatic Temperature Compensation function of the PAL enables you to take measurement readings regardless of the ambient temperature.
  • The PAL can measure high temperature samples during the heating or cooking process. (The measured Brix value will stabilize after taking a few repeated measurements.)
  • The PAL comes with an exclusive storage case. Store the PAL in it’s case properly to avoid damage or loss.
