Doping testing refractometers ATAGO used at the Olympics!

Doping testing - Used in Olympics.

Athletes should not rely on drugs/steroids.
Urine specifc gravity is the first check point for doping tests.

Fair and Square Competition

In doping testing, for urine samples over 150ml or more, the expected specific gravity is over 1.0003. For urine samples that are over 90ml but under 150ml, the expected specific gravity is 1.005. ATAGO’s urine specific gravity meter plays a role in making sure that the athlete’s hard work will be rewarded.

Digital Hydration Refractometer.

The PAL-10S from Atago Japan is a dedicated Specific Gravity (S.G.) meter that measures urine in the range of S.G. 1.000 to 1.060 to determine hydration levels in humans.

It is the ideal apparatus for testing hydration levels in athletes and animals as well as being a helpful tool for law enforcement officers, probation officers, hospitals, veterinary clinics, health care workers and sports scientists.

The Atago PAL-10S is equipped with automatic temperature compensation.  It is also dust tight and protected against water jets, therefore making cleaning as easy as rinsing it under running water.

FEATURES:

• Simple to use

• Measurement range S.G. 1.000 to 1.060

• Accuracy to +/- 0.001

• Ambient temperature 10 to 35°

• Result within 3 seconds

• International protection class IP65

• Dust tight and protected against water jets

• 2 x AAA batteries

• Light and compact for portability

The Atago PEN-Urine S.G. is a handheld, pen style digital Refractometer that measures the Specific Gravity (S.G.) of human urine to determine hydration levels.

This new "Pen" style digital Refractometer has been developed for fast and hygienic use when testing urine to determine hydration. Handling is minimal; there is no need to pipette the sample onto the  test prism any more.

To use, just simply dip the tip of the refractometer into the specimen sample pottle and press the start button for quick, automatic measurement.

Clean up is also quick and easy as the pen-urine Refractometer is IP65 rated and can be rinsed under running water.

Using a refractometer is widely accepted as a standard method for monitoring and ensuring safe hydration levels are maintained.

Perfect for use on site to perform regular employee safety testing as well as drug and alcohol screening, forming a vital part of your OH & S program.

Urine specific gravity results will fall between 1.002 and 1.030 if your kidneys are functioning normally. Specific gravity results above 1.010 can indicate mild dehydration. The higher the number, the more dehydrated you may be.

Many sporting clubs, both amateur and professional use the Atago Pen-Urine S.G for measuring and monitoring the hydration of athletes.  Chances are the team you support is using one of these refractometers.

Not only is hydration a concern in sports, for many work places poor hydration can be a cause of work place accidents.  For effective OHS policy many organisations use the refractometers to ensure workers are turning up to work hydrated and not suffering from the effects of a big night.  Other OHS concerns include ensuring workers maintain hydration whilst on the job.  This is especially critical at mine sites and building sites.

Effects of dehydration can include fatigue, weakness, palpitations, dizziness, confusion, fainting and breathing difficulty.  These effects can cause an individual to either have, or contribute to a major accident and in mild cases cause a lack of productivity.  

For such a simple to use piece of equipment, the benefits are enormous.

FEATURES:

• Very easy to use with instantaneous, automatic measurement
• Extremely high accuracy to 0.0010 S.G.
• IP65 casing means it can be cleaned under running water quickly & easily
• Zero calibration with distilled water
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) for increased accuracy
• Sealed unit, no user maintenance required
