The data are registered in the device, and can be transfered later on a PC through Usb

The AGROSTA® 100Field was created 25 years ago by Agro Technology together with a government research center under the name of DUROFEL.

The AGROSTA® 100Field is a very high quality durometer, integrating the latest electronics technologies like surface mounted components, Microprocessor, Rohs components, top quality sensor..

The AGROSTA® 100Field ( Durofel DFT 100) is a very famous device, sold everywhere in the world. Agro Technologie has equipped the most famous universities and research centers in the world. They are using the durofel unit as a refernce for measuring the firmness of soft fruits ( See research articles joined)
