Atago 2971 Master-53Pα Handheld Refractometer (0-53 Brix)

The Atago 2971 Master-53Pα is a handheld refractometer designed for laboratories and production lines requiring rapid and reliable measurement across the 0-53 Brix range. Requiring only 2-3 sample drops enables significant time savings during in-field and in-line quality control operations.

Internal automatic temperature compensation ensures consistent results across varying ambient conditions, while the IP65 protection rating provides robust resistance to dust and water splash exposure. The lightweight plastic housing offers excellent portability and ease of handling. With ±0.5% measurement accuracy and 0.5% resolution, this instrument is an ideal choice for food, beverage, syrup, and related applications requiring Brix measurement.

Operating on simple optical reading principles, the instrument requires no electrical power or batteries—a significant advantage for field deployment and in-line use. As shown in the model comparison matrix, the Master-53Pα represents the plastic housing series variant featuring both IP65 protection and integrated temperature compensation capabilities.
