Atago Company has added the  newly released PRM-100a In-Line refractometer, designed to monitor and control the concentration of dissolved solids or water soluble liquids in process lines for the control of mixing, concentration, fermentation, and control of the concentration of water-based or alkali-based detergent, or other similar products.

Carnation, WA, May 10, 2010 – The successful series of in-line digital refractometers by Atago Company LTD has added a new product, and it is being carried by National Microscope Exchange.  The newly released ATAGO PRM-100a digital refractometer has replaced the popular older style PRM-85 and PRM-85SE instruments, which were a mainstay of the company for years.   Atago Company is one of the most respected world leaders in the manufacture of refractometer products according to National Microscope Exchange President Rowland Brasch.

“The newly designed PRM-100a In-Line refractometer continues on in the tradition of excellent ATAGO products which have made it a world leader in refractometry,” said Brasch.  “The new ATAGO-PRM-100a incorporates the accuracy and ease of use found in the less expensive model CM-780N, but adds the features of a higher degree of accuracy along with the capability to measure refractive index as well as brix.”

The new PRM-100a In-Line refractometer has accuracy readings of +/- 0.05% brix and +/- .00010 for refractive index, and has two options for setting the minimum indication decimal place, as well as the ability to set a User-Defined Scale (input via RS-232C).  This instrument is easily connected to your system by attaching the unit to a piping system to monitor food or beverage production, pharmaceutical production, industrial fluid, washing devices, dilution/mixing devices, etc.  The in-line refractometer will continuously monitor water content and mixing ratio with successive measurements of refractive index, Brix, or concentration.

“ATAGO refractometers such at the PRM-100a are popular with users because of their accuracy and ease of use,” said Brasch. “The PRM-100a In-Line refractometer is more accurate than other ATAGO In-Line refractometers, making it more attractive to users.”
