Atago PAL-BX|ACID8 Master Kit – Kiwifruit Brix-Acid Meter

The PAL-BX|ACID8 Master Kit is a portable hybrid refractometer from ATAGO that combines refractometry (Brix) and electrical conductivity (acid) principles to measure sugar content, acidity, and sugar-to-acid ratio in kiwifruit and kiwifruit products with a single touch. It provides a practical solution for quality control teams working in kiwifruit orchards, storage facilities, or processing plants.

Unlike traditional titration methods, it requires no reagents or glassware, eliminating both cost and breakage risk. Its compact and lightweight design allows easy field portability. The Master Kit package includes a digital scale, beaker, and measuring spoon—all accessories needed for accurate measurement—so the device is ready to use straight out of the box.

Any user can obtain results in approximately 3 seconds by simply placing a sample on the sensor stage and pressing START. With IP65 protection rating, it withstands humid and dusty field conditions.
