Atago Refractometers

Digital Hand-held "Pocket" Refractometer PAL

The PAL-1 is a completely new and redesigned digital hand-held instrument that will change the traditional conceptions of refractometers. The PAL-1's surprisingly compact size allows you to easily carry it around and use it indoors as well as outdoors.
The size, design, function and performance will surprise you. The PAL-1 with expand your range of measuring possibilities.

The PAL-2 has all the great features of the PAL-1, but with a higher measurement range from 45.0-93.0%Brix. This makes it the perfect instrument for high concentration samples such as jam, marmalade, jelly, honey, concentrated juice, etc. The PAL-2 is water resistant (rated at IP65), so clean up of viscous samples can be done easily by placing the instrument under running water.
High temperature boiled samples such as jam, marmalade or maple syrup can also be measured. For these samples, the PAL-2 will give steady readings once measurement is repeated a few times (and the temperature of the sample and prism surface conforms to the ambient temperature).

In addition, the best new feature of the PAL-2 is that daily "zero-setting" (calibration) can be performed by using just water.

No more need for any calibration liquid!

Refractive Index (1.3306 to 1.5284)

The RX-9000α is a fully automatic digital refractometer with the highest level of accuracy of its kind.

Designed with a wide measurement range, measurement temperature range, and highest measurement accuracy, this instrument is suitable for multiple sample types; such as measuring oils and fats with high melting points, aroma oils of high refractive index and organic solvents, meeting demands for high accuracy measurements.

The RX-9000α has a built-in Peltier thermo module for maintaining a constant sample temperature while taking measurements. Manual calibration is also possible to adjust to standard liquid values and to correct differences in measurement values between instruments.

The RX-5000α ( alpha ) is an automatic digital refractometer which can set measurement temperature internally and has the following features for measuring the refractive index, Brix or concentration of various liquids accurately and speedily

• Since the RX-5000α ( alpha ) has a thermo-module to control temperature, a constant temperature water bath is not necessary.
• The measurement starts automatically after the sample reaches your targeted temperature.
• The refractive index and Brix at your targeted temperature are speedily displayed.
• High Brix ± 0.03% and refractive index ± 0.00004 accuracy can be obtained.
• The RX-5000α ( alpha ) displays the top-and-bottom-limit-bar for your set control range.
• If the measurement value differs from that of your Standard Liquid or the other refractometer, it can be adjusted in a certain range.
• 60 kinds of user scales can be input according to your sample.
• The RX-5000α ( alpha ) is capable of calling up 30 latest measurements.

*Special model of RX-5000α allows pre-programming of an additional scale (such as honey moisture, inverted sugar% or salt concentration) in addition to Refractive Index and Brix (%) at customer's request.
