Calibrating refractometer

Snowsrfr · 12/01/2007, 01:07 PM

I recently purchased some Pinpoint salinity calibration fluid, so I could properly calibrate my refractometer. Can anybody tell me the proper way to calibrate it with the calibration fluid, or point me to where it tells me the steps to accomplish this properly? Thanks.

Put the fluid in as you would water and set it to 35ppt.
