The PAL-1 is a completely new and redesigned digital hand-held instrument that will change the traditional conceptions of refractometers. It is equipped with the following features:

  • The PAL-1 is surprisingly compact in size allowing for portability and use indoors or outdoors. Weighing only 100g, it can be placed in a pocket or hang it from your neck or belt.
  • Measurements can be made easily while holding it in just one hand. The sample stage is designed to keep sample solutions from spilling out.
  • Speedy performance. Simply put a drop of a sample on the prism surface and press the START key. The Brix value ( sugar content/concentration ) will be displayed in just 3 seconds. With a digital LCD display, others can view the measurement value without the worry of false readings due to the subjectivity of each person ( as with traditional analog refractometers ).
  • With its wide measurement range ( Brix 0.0 to 53.0% ) the PAL-1 works perfectly in measuring almost any fruit juice, food, or drink, such as soup, sauce, ketchup, tomato sauce, low-sugar jam, or marmalade.
  • Protection class of the PAL-1 is IP65. You can rinse off the sample by running water on the sample stage. The design allows the user to easily wipe off the sample.
  • The Automatic Temperature Compensation function of the PAL-1 enables you to take measurement readings regardless of the ambient temperature.
  • The PAL-1 can measure high temperature samples during the heating or cooking process.
    ( The measured Brix value will stabilize after taking a few repeated measurements. )

    The PAL-2 incorporates all of the features of the PAL-1 except for its measurement range of Brix 45.0 - 93.0%. It can measure various high concentration samples such as jam, marmalade, jelly, honey and concentrated juice. When boiling jam or marmalade are measured, the PAL-2 gives steady measurement values as the measurement is repeated for a few times. It is very useful since "zero-setting" (calibration) can be done with water.
