Whisky or whiskey is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn, rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak. This model has the ethyl alcohol scale, and concentrations are displayed in mL/100mL |
Vodka (Polish: wódka [ˈvutka], Russian: водка [ˈvotkə], Swedish: vodka [vɔdkɑː]) is a clear distilled alcoholic beverage with different varieties originating in Poland, Russia and Sweden. It is composed primarily of water and ethanol, but sometimes with traces of impurities and flavourings. This model has the ethyl alcohol scale, and concentrations are displayed in mL/100mL |
Gin is a distilled alcoholic drink that derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries (Juniperus communis). Gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks in Italy. This model has the ethyl alcohol scale, and concentrations are displayed in mL/100mL. |
Rum is a liquor made by fermenting then distilling sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. The distillate, a clear liquid, is usually aged in oak barrels. Most rums are produced in Caribbean and American countries, but also in other sugar producing countries, such as the Philippines and India. This model has the ethyl alcohol scale, and concentrations are displayed in mL/100mL. |
Brandy is a liquor produced by distilling wine. Brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof) and is typically consumed as an after-dinner digestif. Some brandies are aged in wooden casks. This model has the ethyl alcohol scale, and concentrations are displayed in mL/100mL. |
Tequila is a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant, primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila 65 km northwest of Guadalajara, and in the Jaliscan Highlands of the central western Mexican state of Jalisco This model has the ethyl alcohol scale, and concentrations are displayed in mL/100mL |
Shōchū is a Japanese distilled beverage. It is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar, though it is sometimes produced from other ingredients such as chestnut, sesame seeds, potatoes, or even carrots This model has the ethyl alcohol scale, and concentrations are displayed in mL/100mL. |

PAL commitment
A new ergonomic design for comfort and ease of use! In pursuit of an "easy to use" , "easy to operate" and ergonomic architecture of new instruments, ATAGO has achieved a "palm fitting" masterpiece as well as unit that is high in hygienic properties. By reducing the number of unnecessary assembly parts, we have reduced the risks of a germ reproductive environment. Through our efforts to produce a hygienic instrument to be used in any industry, these units are designed to be completely washable. The new PAL series has been approved by the HACCP, and are equipped with the new ELI feature, which ensures accurate measurements - even outdoors. Requests from our customers worldwide are reflected in the development of the new PAL units
ATAGO Releases NFC (Near Field Communication) Equipped Refractometers
In addition to the Bluetooth enabled refractometers, ATAGO ® released refractometers with near-field communication (NFC) technology for the ease of storing and sharing data with phones, tablets, laptops, and other NFC-equipped devices. Simply by tapping NFC-equipped devices, up to 100 measurement data with the date and time are transferred in a matter of seconds. The NFC solution is simpler and prevents typical human errors in data collection and data generation.
With ever evolving movement of profound change in how human interact with machine automation, this upgrade seizes one’s time to write down measurements with a pen or paper.
How to Use NFC Feature on PAL:
Quick and easy three steps
- For cellphones, download NFC reader app or turn on the NFC feature. For computers, connect the NFC reader.

Measurement Methods In 3 Easy Steps
Other Features
 |
Light & Compact, 100g. Ergonomically designed for one-handed operation. The innovative design makes it easy to pour out and remove a sample, but difficult to spill the sample |  |
Sample size 2-3 drops. |
 |
The speedy performance of the PAL is amazing. 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. |  |
High-temperature samples can be measured. |
 |
The protection class of the PAL 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. Will float if accidentally dropped in water |  |
Revolutionary new External Light interference (ELI) feature Patented When intense light penetrates the prism of a digital refractometer, the light waves interfere with the sensor, which may lead to inaccurate measurements. To ensure accurate measurement results, the PAL is programmed with the ELI function which displays the [nnn] warning message when intense direct light is detected. Forming a habit of shading the sample stage with your hand and re-pressing the START key (when the warning message from the ELI function is displayed) will ensure accurate measurement results each time |
 |
The sample stage is designed to keep sample solutions from spilling out. |  |
Calibration with water only. |
 |
The Automatic Temperature Compensation function of the PAL enables you to take measurement readings regardless of the ambient temperature. |  |
Convenient Storage case. |
 |
New Digital Hand-Held "Pocket" Meter for PAL-Series Equipped with NFC Data Transmission Function Data history can be accessed by bringing PAL-NFC to any Android devices or PC-linked USB NFC Reader. *The Certification Mark is a trademark or registered trademark of NFC Forum, Inc. in the United States and in other countries. |
  |
Mode S™ - improves the repeatability of samples that cause inconsistent readings. |
