1. Taking a sample

Foods such as pudding or jelly need to be mixed thoroughly in order to ensure a more unified sample. Apply the sample onto the prism surface.

2.Measuring Method

● Hand-Held Refractometers <MASTER-α, T, M>

1) Apply pudding or jelly that has been thoroughly mixed, onto the prism. Be sure that the sample is evenly spread over the entire prism when the daylight plate is closed.

2) Look through the eyepiece. Read the boundary line where the blue and the white color meet. This is the Brix (%).

● "Pocket" Refractometers <PAL-1>

1) Apply pudding or jelly that has been thoroughly mixed, onto the prism with a plastic spoon.

2) Press the "START" key.
The measurement value is displayed digitally.

* When measuring pudding or jelly with the PAL-1, repeated measurements may not be stable due to insoluble ingredients in the sample. If the unit is showing unstable readings, calculate the average of several measurements.
