₹29,650.00
ATAGO PAL-2 Digital Hand-Held “Pocket” Refractometer:
The ATAGO PAL-2 is part of the next generation of Digital Refractometers, known as the "Pocket" Refractometer PAL-series, and is specifically calibrated for measuring high Brix concentration samples. This digital, handheld instrument offers objective readings on its LCD display, eliminating the possibility of human interpretation errors common with traditional meters. The compact, light, and ergonomic body is designed for comfortable, single-hand operation and fits easily into a shirt or trouser pocket, making measurements quick and convenient whether indoors or out in the field.
Performance and Applications:
The PAL-2 excels in measuring substances with high sugar content and is an essential tool for quality control and consistency across several industries. Its high Brix measurement range allows professionals to accurately monitor products such as:
• Jam and marmalade
• Jelly
• Honey
• Concentrated juice
• Syrups
Measurements are exceptionally fast, typically requiring only about 3 seconds to display the result. Only a small amount of sample is required—as little as 2 to 3 drops or a minimum volume of 0.3 ml.
Key Features and Durability:
The PAL-2 is engineered for precision and endurance, incorporating several advanced features for reliable performance:
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): This feature ensures highly accurate and precise measurements across a wide temperature range (10 to 100°C), compensating for temperature fluctuations in the sample.
• Durable Construction: The instrument boasts an IP65 International Protection Class rating, meaning it is dustproof and protected against water spray. This durability allows the unit to be easily cleaned under running water, which is particularly beneficial when handling sticky, thick, or high-concentration samples.
• Durable Prism: The prism is constructed from highly durable optical glass, designed to prevent scratching during use and maintenance.
• External Light Interference (ELI): A patented revolutionary feature that displays a warning message when intense direct light penetrates the prism. This helps ensure measurement accuracy by prompting the user to shade the sample stage when necessary.
• Simple Operation: It features conveniently located START and ZERO keys for quick measurement and zero setting (using water on the prism).
