Digital honey refractometer Atago

Digital Refractometer ATAGO PAL-22S for Precise Honey Moisture Measurement

Keep your honey in top quality and minimize the risk of fermentation with reliable measurement. The Digital Refractometer ATAGO PAL-22S from the renowned Japanese manufacturer (distributed by Heinrich Holtermann) is designed for beekeepers who want to quickly and accurately check the moisture content in honey. Instead of tedious reading from a scale, it displays the value clearly on a large digital display within 3 seconds.

Why is the ATAGO PAL-22S an excellent choice for beekeeping practice?

The greatest advantage in everyday use is its speed, simple operation, and clean handling. The instrument has an IP65 protection rating, so it can be easily rinsed under running water after measurement – ideal when working with honey, which is sticky and leaves residue. Thanks to its compact dimensions, you can keep it with you and measure directly at the apiary, in the honey house, or during purchasing.

Features every beekeeper will appreciate:

Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): You don't need to worry about the sample or ambient temperature. The refractometer automatically corrects the result within a range of 10–40 °C, so measurement remains accurate in a cooler honey house as well as during hot days.

Independent of lighting conditions: Thanks to ELI technology and its own backlight/sensor, daylight is not required. You can reliably measure in dim light, in a storage room, or under artificial lighting.

Quick and easy calibration: No special solutions are needed to verify accuracy. Simply apply a drop of ordinary or distilled water, press ZERO, and the instrument is ready to use.

Package Contents

The refractometer is supplied in a protective case for safe transport. The package also includes 2× AAA batteries, so you can start measuring immediately after unpacking.
