Urine Specific Gravity Refractometer PEN-Urine S. G.

The Atago PEN-Urine S.G. is a compact digital refractometer designed to measure the specific gravity of urine. Its pen-shaped design allows one-handed operation, while the digital display provides a reading in approximately two seconds.

The instrument measures urine specific gravity using the refractive index method. To take a reading, dip the tip into the sample and press START. Alternatively, press START first and touch the tip to the sample within 10 seconds. The tip must make contact with the urine in either method.

Benefits:

• Quick measurement: Displays a urine specific gravity reading in approximately two seconds.
• Two sampling methods: Dip the tip into a sample or touch the tip to the sample.
• Water calibration: Calibrates using water.
• Automatic temperature compensation: Operates across a measurement temperature range of 10 to 40°C.
• Portable design: Weighs approximately 70 g and runs on one AAA alkaline battery.
• Water resistance: The instrument is rated IP65, with an IP67-rated prism head.
