Important
This comparison fixes the PAL-1 Cat.No.3810, not Bluetooth PAL-1 variants or calibration bundles. Zero the instrument with clean water and calibrate with a suitable standard as the manual requires. Use clean samples and clean the prism between measurements. Brix is not a direct measure of sugar when other dissolved substances are present, and a reading is not proof of food safety, ripeness, fermentation safety, or regulatory compliance. Follow applicable food-handling and sample-safety procedures.Image: ATAGO Japan ↗
