Atago PAL-DOG&CAT Veterinary Refractometer – Canine and Feline Urine Specific Gravity Measuring Device

Atago PAL-DOG&CAT is a digital handheld refractometer specifically engineered for measuring urine specific gravity (SG) in canine and feline samples within veterinary clinical settings. Requiring only a few drops of sample, it delivers rapid measurement results and serves as a practical point-of-care solution compared to traditional dipstick testing or laboratory wait times.

The instrument provides consistent results across varying ambient conditions through automatic temperature compensation, eliminating temperature-dependent measurement drift. Its IP65 protection rating ensures the housing is resistant to both dust and water ingress, facilitating ease of cleaning and maintaining hygiene standards in clinical environments. Atago's extensive expertise in optical refractometer manufacturing provides the foundation for reliable and consistent measurement performance.

The small sample volume requirement offers particular advantage when collecting specimens from small-breed cats and dogs where sample acquisition may be challenging. Its compact, portable design allows use directly at the examination table or within mobile veterinary service applications.

Note: Specific measurement range, resolution, and accuracy values have not been verified by the manufacturer; verification from official Atago technical documentation is recommended prior to routine clinical use.
