Refractometer Question!

RedLion · Jan 5, 2010

Hey All,

Does anyone have a recommendation for an affordable, but accurate and reliable refractometer? I am thinking about getting one, but I don't want to spend a lot of cash. I am looking to get the most bang for my buck!!

Thanks,
Joey

Up here we use Vertex and Sybon. I swear they are made in the same factory with different labeling, both seem to work pretty well. They run about $60 CAD.

This one is also good when calibrated. Always be sure to calibrate any refractometer you get with a seawater standard (the pinpoint calibration fluid is what I use). Don't trust it to be 100% accurate with RO/DI calibration alone.

Good advice, Amp.
