The standard deviation of PAL-S was half of Cutting oil Milk Soymilk Brix that of PAL-1. *1 Stable readings may not be obtained with some samples due to components. How to Measure TM MAGIC (included) This adaptor is used for a hot sample to cool it down quickly and to minimize its evaporation. Place a sample on the prism. Put the provided MAGIC™ on top. Press the START key. TM MAGIC Continuous The PAL takes multiple measurements for 5 to 15 seconds. measurement for S 60 seconds The time it takes to achieve stability varies by sample type.

Are you Other models with TM wasting time and labor on recording multiple readings and calculating the average? Try the Mode S™! The PAL-S is Mode S™ is available on the RX-i series and selected models of the RX-α. the first hand-held model to be equipped with this exclusive feature. The PAL-S analyzes the measurement stability internally and displays consistent readings digitally.
