Atago PAL-HIKARi 19 Medlar Brix Meter

The PAL-HIKARi 19, from Atago's HIKARi series, is a pocket-sized digital refractometer calibrated for Brix measurement of medlar fruits. A liquid sample is applied to the prism surface and the Brix (%) value is read within seconds.

The instrument performs measurements in the 12.0-20.0% Brix range with 0.1% resolution; accuracy is specified as ±1.5%, with repeatability of ±0.5%. Temperature compensation is available between 5.0-30.0°C, allowing consistent results across varying ambient temperatures. With IP65 protection rating, it is suitable for use in humid and dusty environments such as orchards and storage facilities.

For medlar growers, wholesalers, and quality control personnel, it serves as a practical field instrument for harvest timing optimization and batch-based sugar content monitoring. Its pocket-sized design ensures easy portability and enables rapid measurement in the field.
