Brix:
The number of g of sucrose contained in 100 g of sucrose solution. Equal Brix%. Brix of
soluble solids. With automatic temperature compensation.
Salt:
The number of grams of salt contained in 100 g of saline solution.
Salt (Std scale):
Used for ramen soup and sauce etc...
Salt (USr scale):
User scale of USr1 to USr5. After programming a user scale, undiluted
samples can be measured.
Low Sodium Index:
Salt ÷ Brix. Brix to Salt ratio.
Main unit...1 AAA batteries...2 m Please remove the tape in the battery compartment before first use.
ATAGO instruments are rigorously inspected to ensure each unit meets the highest standards of quality assurance.

Preparation
The Salt meter, which measures electrical
conductivity, requires a 10-fold (refer to making
Dilution) dilution for foods with Brix 6% or higher.
(prepare 3 versions of the same sample : Refer to
User Scale Samples)
User scale enables salt measurement of undiluted
products.
Measure Brix and Salt at the same time.
