Can you post a link to the "Dr. Foster Smith brand" Refractometer. Do you mean the Portable Refractometer listed on there site? I don't see their name on it anywhere or any claim that they made it.

It's the 'Portable Refractometer'. It's like $43.

I don't think they make it, it's just their recommended one, and they have it on sale alot. I think it might be a generic label deal.

Yes, I'm refering to the "Portable Refractometer" xcreonx mentioned. There's no brand name on it so I figured it was one made for Dr. Foster Smith. Here's a link.

It's half the price of the Vital Sine they offer, so I was a little suspecious and just wondering what the differences were.
