Atago PAL-BX|ACID40 Master Kit Coffee Cherry Brix-Acid Analyzer

The PAL-BX|ACID40 Master Kit combines Atago's refractometry and electrical conductivity principles using hybrid technology to simultaneously measure Brix, chlorogenic acid, and sugar/acid ratio in coffee cherry. Without requiring reagents or glass materials, place a sample on the measurement stage, press START, and obtain results in approximately 3 seconds.

The instrument is optimized for precise measurement in the low-acidity range (0.10-1.90%), which is critical for determining coffee cherry maturity levels. Brix measurement operates across a wide range of 0.0-90.0% with automatic temperature compensation at 0.1°C resolution. With IP65 protection rating and lightweight 100 g body, it is easily deployed in field conditions such as plantations, processing facilities, and cupping laboratories.

Compared to traditional methods such as titration, this instrument eliminates reagent costs and disposal procedures while delivering clear digital readouts. It provides a practical solution for coffee producers and laboratories seeking rapid and reproducible quality control measurements of coffee cherry.
