Misco Palm Abbe Digital Wine Refractometers
$455.00 – $525.00
The Misco Palm Abbe Wine Refractometer can provide an instant digital “field” determination of grape ripeness, grape-must concentration, grape-must density, and sugar content, as well as the potential and actual alcohol content of the finished wine. Available in either 2-scale or 5-scale models.
Misco Palm Abbe Digital Wine Refractometers
Ideal for vineyards and wineries where quality and the highest precision are demanded
The Misco Palm Abbe line of handheld digital refractometers has been engineered specifically for the international wine industry. They provide an instant digital “field” determination of grape ripeness, grape-must concentration, grape-must density, and sugar content, as well as the potential and actual alcohol content of the finished wine.
Other models are available with scales for various international units of measure including Baume, Brix, Oechsle, KMV, Babo, specific gravity, alcoholic strength, etc. Users have the flexibility to mix and match up to five different scales on the PA203X models, giving them the ability to create truly custom wine testing instruments.
Protection against inaccurate readings due to temperature differences, a major concern in refractive index measurement, is assured with nonlinear temperature compensation specific to grape juices. Temperature compensation is automatic for fluids read between 0 and 50 °C (+32 to 122 °F). The digital refractometer removes the subjectivity associated with analog refractometers that require users to interpret where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. Calibration of the Palm Abbe is automatic and does not require special calibration solutions or tools; they automatically calibrate themselves to water.
