Atago MASTER-Alpha Brix Refractometer

The Atago MASTER-α (Alpha) and MASTER-Pα (Alpha) are the most comprehensive handheld refractometers in their class, designed to measure sugar concentration (Brix) in both food and industrial applications. With a versatile measurement range of 0.0% to 33.0% Brix, these instruments are ideal for beverages, fruit juices, soups, and sauces, as well as monitoring the concentration of water-soluble cutting oils in metalworking. This series integrates meticulous optical precision with Atago’s highest level of environmental protection.

The standout feature of the Alpha series is the combination of Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) and IP65 water resistance in a single device. This ensures accurate readings regardless of ambient temperature fluctuations and allows the user to rinse the unit safely under running water for easy maintenance. Two housing options are available: the MASTER-α with a rugged metal body for standard industrial use, and the MASTER-Pα with a high-grade plastic body specifically designed to resist corrosion from salty or acidic samples. Ergonomic and reliable, the Alpha series represents the gold standard for portable Brix analysis.
