Glass? Plastic?** A: Hi Russell M. thank you for your patience. The outsize of t he sample holder is metal, the inner part of it is stainless steel, thank you and welcome to us. **Q: Have anyone tried covering from light when measuring to improve sensitivity or reading stability?** A: This product is measured by light refraction, so be careful not to contaminate or damage the prism in the product. - In addition, measuring in a leveled position increases reading stability. - In order to increase sensitivity and reading safety, and to reduce product stability and defect rate, a full inspection is conducted by professionals after making it in the manufacturing plant. - It also provides the inspector's personal information and product quality assurance. **Q: i purchase this product to use with honey, after i set in zero y load the honey on the chamber and it mark HHH is this ok? how should i use?** A: The Pal-1 will only measure up to 53% on the brix scale. The sugar content may be too high for the machine. For measuring honey, I would recommend the PAL-22S or the PAL-2 instead. ## Frequently Bought Together - Atago 3810 PAL-1 Digital Hand Held Pocket Refractometer, 0.0 - 53.0% Brix Measurement Range - aichose Brix Refractometer with ATC, Dual Scale - Specific Gravity & Brix, Hydrometer in Wine Making and Beer Brewing, Homebrew Kit - Digital Brix Refractometer Flagfront brix Meter Refractometer Automatic Temperature Compensation Brix Refractometer Range 0-55%，±0.1% Precision for Fruit Juice Coffee --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/64300715-pal-1-digital-hand-held-pocket-refractometer-0-0-53](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/64300715-pal-1-digital-hand-held-pocket-refractometer-0-0-53) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
