What's important is the balance of sweetness and tartness !
Brix and acidity in mere one minute
Pocket Brix-Acidity Meter
PAL-BX|ACID
8 Features Why PAL-BX/ACID Meters are Chosen
Hybrid Measurement Device
With PAL-BX/ACID, the integral parameters of fruit, sugar (Brix) and acidity can be measured with one device. It measures sugar level (Brix) through a refractometry method using light refraction. Also, it measures acidity level through electroconductivity method using electrical current. |
Sugar (Brix) x Acidity Balance
Besides sugar level or sweetness, the acidity or tartness is another important element that influences the taste of fruit. By simply pressing a button, it promptly displays the indispensable sugar acid ratio of fruit and vegetables. |
Simple Measurement Procedures
To measure acidity, dilute sample with water, place it on the sample stage and press the START button. Anyone can easily take these measurements. |
No Reagent Required
Conventional acid level measurement such as the acid-base titration method requires large amounts of costly reagent and tedious disposal procedures. ATAGO Brix-Acidity Meters require absolutely no reagent at all |
Easy to Read Measurement Values
The acid-base titration method derives the acid content as phenolphthalein changes color when the solution is alkalized, but it is difficult to determine the equivalence point. With ATAGO Brix-Acidity Meters, anyone can easily see the results with a digital readout. |
Transportable and Easy to Carry
Transportable and compact size. It is lightweight and can be easily carried by anyone

Kits & Accessories
Master Kit that includes everything you need is available. |
Glassware is Unnecessary
We have heard customers tell us how they broke the glassware required for the titration method. Have peace of mind and be worry free of damage with ATAGO Brix-Acidity Meters. |
Questions And Answers
When should Brix-Acidity Meters be used??
It is ideal to use the Brix-Acidity when you want to measure both Brix and acidity.
If your sample or fruit type is not listed, please get in touch.
What are units of measurement for acidity?
The units of measurement can vary depending on the country it is used. In Japan, g/100mL is the typical unit. It is typically converted to a percentage.
Are there any particular sample preparations or precautions?
Depending on your sample, preparation methods may vary. Please refer to the following. When measuring acidity with ATAGO Brix-Acidity Meters, samples need to be diluted.
