Why Four Scales Matter
Different wine regions and traditions use different sugar measurement scales. The MA885 eliminates conversion calculations by displaying Brix (international standard), °Oechsle (German standard), °KMW (Austrian standard), and °Babo (historical scale) simultaneously, making it perfect for international winemaking operations and educational settings.
Simple Operation
Place 2 drops of must or juice on the prism, close the cover, press READ, and view your results instantly across all four scales. The MA885 makes must analysis fast, accurate, and eliminates manual conversion errors.
