Handheld density meter: DMA 35 Basic

No other handheld density meter is so lightweight, compact, and easy to use

DMA 35 Basic is the entry-level handheld density meter that takes samples directly from the storage container with the help of the built-in pump and measures them on-site. Results are given as density or concentration, for example in °Brix, %v/v alcohol, or %w/w H₂SO₄. Because of its lightweight and flat design, hard-to-reach samples, such as automotive batteries stored on narrow racks or wine samples out of stacked wine barrels, can be conveniently measured.
