The Atago DUR-PEN is designed as a pen style, digital Refractometer for ergonomic and hygienic use when testing urine specific gravity for hydration levels in humans. It is commonly used by sports teams and clubs to monitor athletes before, during and after training and matches.

It is also essential that it is used by companies employing manual labour in extreme conditions, such as mines, to ensure their workers are properly hydrated therefore minimizing the chances of an accident or injury through illness.

Another use is as part of a worksafe OSH drug testing kit to analyze employees who turn up to work effected by the night before's activities!  

If a person is not correctly hydrated, their salt balance within the interstitial fluid is disrupted and this changes the normal osmotic state. Reduced osmotic state outside of muscle cells leads to them shrinking and this causes the muscle lumen and sarcoplasmic reticulum to short circuit. The knock-on effect of this can be seen as a muscle cramp or tear. This imbalance can also change the physiological state of the body leading to cardiac impairment.

FEATURES:

• Simple to use with automatic measurement - no need to transfer the sample by pipette!
• High accuracy to 0.0010% S.G.
• IP65 waterproof rated casing allows the refractometer to be rinsed clean under running water quickly and easily.
• Zero calibration with distilled water
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) for increased accuracy
