Atago PAL-BX|SALT Pocket Salt (Salinity) and Brix (Sugar Content) Refractometer

 |
World's First Hybrid
Brix and Salt Hybrid Meter
PAL-BX|SALT
A hybrid product created by the fusion of sapphire and titanium, a salt sugar content meter, which can only be achieved by a professional who has pursued optical processing and machining for 80 years.
Optical Glass is used for the refraction method that measures the concentration (Brix) from the refraction of light, and titanium is used for the electrical conductivity method that measures the salinity from the flow of electricity. Sugar content (concentration) and salt content can be measured at once 2 in 1.
This hybrid is more than just a one-time measurement.
Atago has installed a unique algorithm in the salt sugar content meter, eliminating the need for dilution, which is an integral part of salt measurement.

This is a hybrid of refractometer and salt meter which has an optical prism is used to measure the concentration (Brix) and titanium electrode is used to measure the salt contents. |
This is a hybrid of refractometer and salt meter which has an optical prism is used to measure the concentration (Brix) and titanium electrode is used to measure the salt contents. It enables to check the balance between concentration(Brix) and salt that is the decisive factor for taste in foods in general. |

6 Reasons For Choosing Our Brix And Salt Hybrid Meter
|
Optical prism and titanium dual electrode A hybrid brix and salt meter born by the fusion of optics and metal.An optical prism is used for the concentration via light refraction, and titatanium for salt concentration via electrical conductivity. |
 |
 |
Pursuing SDGs, it can withstand long-term use. The concept of `anyone`, `anywhere` and `easily` being able to measure has been our standard, but now we have added `for a long time` to our list for the strongest of specifications. Working towards sustainability, the PAL-BX/SALT is made of durable materials designed for long term use without worry. |

World's first! Dilution-free Salt Measurement Yes, I was looking for something like this!‘Not only providing the means to measure the balance between concentration and salt content in one unit, the decisive factor in taste for all food, with the proprietary algorithm we also took away the stress that comes with dilution. |
 |
 |
No reagents or glassware required Costly and hard to dispose of reagents were needed for the titration method. Glass hydrometers needed to be handled carefully in food facilities due to the danger of dropping and shattering glass. Now with the Brix and Salt Meter,, you don’t have to worry about reagents or damaged glass! |
|
Anyone can measure easily When using for the first time, simple programming with 1 undiluted and 2 diluted versions of the sample is needed. After measuring the Brix and salt of the three samples, the user scale is automatically created from those values. From then on, that sample can be dropped on the unit and measured without any dilution! |
 |
 |
It can be cleaned under running water. Since is water resistant (IP65), it can be rinsed under running water after measurement. Highly viscous samples can also be rinsed with water..This meter can withstand the harsh conditions in the kitchen or on the production line. |
Q Can both the PAL-BX | SALT and PAL-BX | SALT + 5 measure salt content without dilution?
A Only the PAL-BX | SALT + 5 has the user scale function to measure salt content without dilution
Q How many user scales can be registered on the PAL-BX/SALT +5?
A Up to 5 user scales can be registered.
Q What is the user scale on the PAL-BX | SALT + 5?
A It is function that allows samples with high Brix, like soy sauce, to be measured without dilution.
Q What is the heart key?
A Press the heart key to display the salt reduction index (salt concentration ÷ Brix).
Q Is it possible to measure high temperature samples?
A It is equipped with a temperature compensation feature to accurately measure high-temperature samples.
Q How should I store the unit ?
A If the unit will not be used for a while, please store it in the original case it came in.
