When a value of 100% is obtained on a hard flat surface, it guarantees that the device is fully calibrated. The calibration is highly stable, and to date, versions 7 and 8 have never required recalibration. All devices come with a two-year warranty for added assurance.

- STEP 3
Turn on the device and navigate through the intuitive 2.4-inch color touchscreen to configure your settings. Choose between single or multiple measurements (2 or 8 per fruit) based on your testing needs. If you are using the optional Bluetooth connectivity, pair the device with your Android smartphone for additional features like GPS recording and batch storage.
Place the appropriate testing tip (e.g., Tip 25 for cherries or tomatoes) on the fruit’s surface. Press gently to take the measurement. The Durofel scale will display a precise firmness value for each test, ensuring accurate ripeness evaluation. For multiple measurements, the device automatically calculates and displays the average firmness value, saving you time.
Store your measurement results directly in the device or, if connected via Bluetooth, in the CSV format on your Android smartphone. The app enables advanced data management, including batch analysis and location tracking with GPS. Export the data to Excel for further analysis, reporting, or quality control documentation.
