Atago PAL-Easy ACID12 Master Kit – Asian Pear Acidity Meter

The PAL-Easy ACID12 Master Kit is a digital acidity analyzer manufactured by Atago and specifically calibrated to measure titratable acidity levels in Asian pear varieties (Kosui, Hosui, Nijisseiki) on a malic acid concentration basis. Operating on the electrical conductivity principle, this instrument delivers rapid results without requiring traditional titration reagents, glassware, or extended measurement times.

The device measures across a 0.05-2.00% acidity range with 0.01% resolution. For Kosui variety, it provides ±0.05% acid accuracy within the 0.05-0.48% range; for other varieties, ±0.05% accuracy is maintained within 0.05-0.50%; and ±5% relative accuracy for the 0.51-2.00% range. Automatic temperature compensation operates between 10-40°C.

With compact dimensions of 55x31x109 mm and 100 g weight, the instrument is optimized for field deployment. IP65 protection rating ensures reliable operation in orchard and processing environments. Powered by 2 AAA batteries with capacity for approximately 5000 measurements. The Master Kit package includes a digital balance, glass beaker, and measuring spoon.

This analyzer is particularly valuable for Asian pear producers, quality control laboratories, and operations requiring harvest maturity assessment.
