CLINICAL REFRACTOMETERS

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed specifications and usage instructions for ATAGO's clinical refractometers, designed for measuring the refractive index and specific gravity of biological fluids such as serum and urine. These instruments are essential for clinical applications, offering high accuracy and ease of use.
Measurement Method: To measure, apply a drop of the sample solution onto the prism surface and press the START/OFF switch. The measurement value is displayed within 3 seconds, ensuring high accuracy.
Clinical Refractometers: The refractive index of a solution varies with its concentration, which is crucial for determining the concentration of proteins in blood serum or plasma. The refractometers use a scale developed by Dr. Matsumura, based on extensive clinical analyses, to measure total protein in serum accurately.
Product Specifications:
  • UG-α Digital Urine Specific Gravity Refractometer: Features an improved minimum scale indication to the fourth decimal. Measurement range: 1.0000 to 1.0600, accuracy: ±0.0010, sample volume: 0.1ml, power supply: 9V battery, IP64 water-resistant.
  • PAL-10S Digital Hand-held Compact Refractometer: Measures urine specific gravity with a range of 1.000 to 1.060, accuracy: ±0.001, sample volume: 0.3ml, powered by 2 AAA batteries, IP65 water-resistant.
  • MASTER-SUR/Nα and MASTER-SUR/NM: Designed for serum protein, urine specific gravity, and refractive index measurements. Features include water resistance and automatic temperature compensation.
  • MASTER-URC/Nα and MASTER-URC/NM: Focused on urine specific gravity and refractive index, these models are simple to use and portable, with IP65 water resistance.
Compliance and Manufacturing: All ATAGO refractometers comply with HACCP, GMP, and GLP standards and are manufactured in Japan.
Contact Information: ATAGO provides contact details for their headquarters in Japan and various international offices, ensuring global customer support.

CLINICAL REFRACTOMETERS-1

CLINICAL REFRACTOMETERS Refractive index of a solution varies according to the its concentration. Hence, its concentration is obtained from its refractive index. The refractive index of blood serum or plasma depends mainly upon its protein concentration, as proteins are one of the major constituents. This instrument has been designed to use the refractive index method for measuring total protein in serum. The protein scale has been prepared after extensive clinical analyses undertaken by Dr. Matsumura, Professor of Biochemistry at the Tokyo Woman's Medical University. The scale developed by Dr. Matsumura is based on the results obtained from over 1400 cases and has been incorporated into ATAGO refractometers. This is the most reliable scale currently available. As the same as serum protein, there is a correlation between refractive index by a refractometer and urine specific gravity by a hydrometer. Urine specific gravity can be taken from refractive index. Digital Urine Specific Gravity Refractometer UG-a Cat.No.3464 This new Digital Urine Specific Gravity Refractometer UG-a(alpha) is an upgraded version of the UG-1. The minimum scale indication has been improved to display the fourth decimal. After pressing the START key, with the sample placed on the prism, the measurement values will be displayed on the LCD streaming as an electric message board.
