Atago PAL-86S Digital Wine Refractometer

The Atago PAL-86S is a professional-grade, dual-scale digital handheld refractometer specifically engineered for vintners and viticulture specialists. Part of Atago's legendary "Pocket" series, this model provides instant measurements for both the Oechsle (Oe GER) scale—the primary standard in German and Swiss winemaking—and the global Brix scale. This combined functionality allows winemakers to monitor must weight and sugar concentration with absolute precision, ensuring laboratory-grade data directly in the vineyard or the cellar.

Designed for heavy-duty seasonal use, the PAL-86S features an IP65 rating, making it entirely water-resistant and easy to clean under running water. Its Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) guarantees consistent accuracy within a 10°C to 40°C range, eliminating errors caused by varying environmental temperatures. Requiring only 2-3 drops of sample for a 3-second reading, the Atago PAL-86S offers exceptional battery efficiency (up to 11,000 measurements), making it the ultimate tool for modern harvest management and fermentation control.
