Misco Palm Abbe Digital Refractometer

MODEL PA201  0-56° Brix Scale with nonlinear automatic temperature compensation

Laboratory Precision in the Palm of Your Hand!

The MISCO PA201 digital Brix refractometer is used extensively as a base scale for measuring metalworking fluids, lubricants, and industrial chemicals. It also is used for determining the sugar content in fruits, vegetables, juices, beverages, and in wine and beer making.

 

  • Beats the competition Palms Down! -- Palm Abbe has a wider range and twice the accuracy of the Pal-1.  Compare the Palm Abbe to refractometers costing more than $1000.
  • Digital Accuracy -- Digital refractometers remove the subjectivity associated with reading traditional refractometers.
  • Auto Temp Compensation -- Palm Abbe features non-linear temperature compensation that accurately compensates for fluid temperatures regardless of temperature or concentration.
  • Built tough -- The Palm Abbe is built from high-impact, chemically resistant plastic.  It is very water-resistant and designed to operate in the most demanding industrial environments.
  • Quality you can measure -- The accuracy of your measurement is always dependent on the quality of your instrument.


The Palm Abbe is a fourth-generation digital handheld refractometer that puts laboratory precision in the palm of your hand. Not just laboratory precision, but laboratory precision for the price of a traditional analog refractometer. It is exactly the kind of bold, cutting-edge technology you would expect from MISCO, the company that pioneered the digital handheld refractometer.

The Palm Abbe refractometer is fast, convenient, and easy to use.  Simply place a drop or two of fluid in the well and press a button on the key-pad. The custom-designed microprocessor delivers a nearly instantaneous readout in degrees Brix, allowing you to read directly in the units you desire.  Nonlinear temperature compensation is automatic and insures that fluids read between 0 and 50 °C (+32 to 122 °F) are measured accurately.

The large dual-line LCD display is easily read, even in dim light, and removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions.  And, it is so easy to use!  The user interface consists of two buttons, one to take readings and the other to step through various menu options.

Calibration is automatic and does not require the use of special calibration solutions or tools.  The Palm Abbe refractometer automatically calibrates itself to water and is ready to use in seconds.  No more screws to turn and nothing to adjust.
