The PAL-HIKARi 2 is an easy to use and accurate hand-held Brix meter for grapes. Requires no cutting or squeezing; just place the meter on the surface of the fruit to get the reading.
Features:
- Accurate and convenient Brix measurement: The Brix (sugar level) can be measured by placing the fruit on the sample stage with no need of cutting or
squeezing. It requires no more cumbersome wiping and cleansing after each measurement.
- Facilitates total inspection of batches of fruit: All it takes is to put it against a fruit so each individual fruits' brix (sugar level) can be inspected.
The measured fruits are intact and can then be shipped and sold after measurement.
- Lightweight and portable: The PAL-HIKARi sensor is the world most compact nondestructive refractometer. The button located on the lateral side of the
unit makes it possible to take measurements with one hand while the fruits that are on the tree. The unit is battery powered which makes it possible
to take measurements anywhere.
- Two measurement options: Place the instrument against the fruit or place the fruit on the instrument, whichever is more convenient.
- Equipped with ELI function: The PAL-HIKARi is equipped with ELI function that will detect interfering external light allowing to take measurement outdoors,
while the fruits are on the tree. When external light is detected, "nnn" is displayed
