How It Works
- Place 2–3 drops of the sample onto the prism.
- Press the START key.
- The instrument measures the sample and displays the Brix value and prism temperature in approximately 3 seconds.
Applications
The MERA PAL is suitable for checking soluble-solids concentration in:
- Fruit juices and beverages
- Soft drinks
- Syrups
- Sauces and ketchup
- Tomato sauce
- Jam and marmalade
- Food products
- Honey-related applications within the appropriate Brix range
- Agricultural products
- Raw-material inspection
- Food and beverage quality control
- Industrial concentration checks
- Laboratory and production QC
ATAGO specifically lists applications including honey, jam/syrup, soy milk, condiments, wine, drinks, cooking, agriculture, chemicals and clinical uses across its PAL-series instruments.
Advantages
Fast QC Testing: Get a measurement in approximately 3 seconds.
Minimal Sample Requirement: Only a few drops are required, helping reduce sample waste.
Portable: At approximately 100 g, the instrument is easy to carry between laboratory, production and field locations.
Water Resistant: IP65 protection allows the unit to be cleaned under running water according to ATAGO's product information.
Automatic Temperature Compensation: Helps compensate for temperature effects during measurement.
Easy Operation: Simple sample application and START-button measurement make it suitable for routine testing.
What's in the Box
Typical product package should be verified against the supplier's current packing configuration. The instrument uses 2 × AAA batteries and ATAGO documentation identifies calibration/certification options for the PAL series.
