Product Description:
Overview: The Easiest Way to Check Honey Quality:
The ATAGO PAL-22S (Cat.No. 4422) is a compact, digital, hand-held refractometer designed specifically to measure the percentage of water content, or moisture, in honey. It offers the easiest and most objective way to check honey moisture, which is a critical quality aspect determining the ability of honey to remain fresh. The instrument displays readings digitally, eliminating the guesswork associated with traditional boundary lines.
This pocket refractometer is comfortable, light, and compact, ensuring that measurements can be taken virtually anywhere—indoors or outdoors—making it essential for beekeepers, food manufacturers, and laboratory research.
Key Features and Benefits:
• Rapid Measurement: Obtain results in only 3 seconds, maximizing efficiency in field or laboratory testing.
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Accurate readings are guaranteed across a temperature range of 10 to 40°C, as the device automatically compensates for temperature variations.
• Water and Dust Resistance (IP65): Highly durable and water-resistant, the unit is suitable for challenging environments. The prism surface can be rinsed directly under running water for easy cleaning after use.
• Calibration with Water Only: Zero-point calibration is simple and requires only water, eliminating the need for separate, specific calibration liquids.
• Enhanced Display Technology: The digital display includes an External Light Interference (ELI) alert to ensure accuracy, even in bright conditions where ambient light might otherwise interfere with measurement.
• Portability and Design: The light (100g) and compact design is ergonomically engineered for comfortable one-handed operation. It can be conveniently clipped to a belt for transport.
Applications and Quality Assurance:
The PAL-22S is a trusted tool for reliable honey concentration measurements, ensuring precise quality control.
• Incoming Product Grading: Use the device to check the grades of incoming raw honey products.
• Outgoing Product Quality Check: Ensure the quality of outgoing honey products meets necessary standards before distribution.
• Field Use: Its robust design and portability make it perfect for use by beekeepers right at the hive or processing site.
