Atago PAL-BX|ACID3 Master Kit – Tomato Brix-Acidity Meter

The PAL-BX|ACID3 Master Kit is Atago's hybrid handheld instrument that combines refractometry (Brix) and electrical conductivity (citric acid) measurement principles. For tomato producers, processing facilities, and quality control laboratories, it simultaneously measures sugar and acid values in approximately 3 seconds and automatically calculates the sugar/acid ratio.

The device requires no reagents, uses no glass materials, and eliminates tedious procedures such as titration; results are read directly on the digital display. With IP65 rating and compact/lightweight design, it is easily used in field conditions such as greenhouses, fields, and processing facilities. The Master Kit includes a digital scale, glass beaker, measuring spoon, and other required accessories.

With broad Brix and citric acid measurement ranges, it can be used for quality control of various tomato types from processing tomatoes to fresh consumption and paste varieties.
