Atago PAL-BX/RI Digital Refractometer

The Atago PAL-BX/RI is a state-of-the-art, high-performance digital handheld refractometer featuring a dual-scale system for measuring both Brix and Refractive Index (RI). With an expansive full range from 0.0% to 93.0% Brix and 1.3306 to 1.5284 RI, it is the ultimate diagnostic tool for a vast array of samples—ranging from beverages and food products to oils and chemical solutions. This model stands out with its superior Brix accuracy of ±0.1%, delivering laboratory-grade precision in a rugged, pocket-sized format.

The PAL-BX/RI features a dynamic digital display where the Refractive Index and measurement temperature scroll continuously, providing a comprehensive data overview. Engineered for professional use, it is IP65 rated for water resistance, ensuring the device can be safely rinsed under running water after testing. Its advanced Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) for the Brix scale (10°C to 100°C) allows for meticulous readings even with hot samples. Requiring only 2-3 drops of sample for a rapid 3-second result and powered by two AAA batteries—offering up to 11,000 measurements—the Atago PAL-BX/RI is the premier hybrid solution for modern industrial quality control and R&D.
