Atago PAL-Easy ACID8 Master Kit – Kiwifruit Acid Meter

The PAL-Easy ACID8 Master Kit is a digital acid meter specially calibrated by Atago for measuring acidity levels in kiwifruit and kiwifruit-based products (kiwifruit juice, puree, concentrate). Operating on the electrical conductivity measurement principle, it delivers rapid results without reagents or glassware requirements, compared to traditional titration methods.

The instrument measures citric acid concentration within the 0.10-3.00% range in approximately 3 seconds with automatic temperature compensation operating reliably between 10-40°C. It provides ±0.10% absolute accuracy in the low acid range (0.10-1.00%) and ±10% relative accuracy in the high acid range (1.01-3.00%). With IP65 protection rating and 100 gram weight, it operates conveniently under field conditions (orchard, greenhouse, processing facility).

The Master Kit package includes a digital scale, glass beaker, measuring spoon, and all necessary accessories, allowing measurement to commence without purchasing additional equipment. It is a practical solution for kiwifruit producers and processing facilities performing quality control, maturity monitoring, and post-harvest classification.
