Atago PAL-CAT Feline Urine Specific Gravity Refractometer

PAL-CAT is a digital handheld refractometer manufactured by Atago specifically for measuring feline urine specific gravity (SG). It completes urine concentration testing—used in kidney function assessment—in just 3 seconds with only 2-3 drops of sample.

The device measures in the 1.0000-1.0800 SG range with ±0.001 accuracy and 0.0001 resolution. Automatic temperature compensation ensures consistent results even when ambient temperature fluctuates. IP65 protection rating provides durability against fluid contact in clinical environments. Powered by 2 AAA batteries, its compact dimensions (5.5 x 3.1 x 10.9 cm) make it suitable for both field and clinic use.

For veterinary clinics and laboratories, the minimal sample volume and rapid measurement significantly reduce sampling difficulties, particularly with small animal species.
