Description of 🔬 Aquatic Experts AccuBrate Refractometer and Hydrometer Salinity Calibration Fluid – Precise Solution to Calibrate Refractometer and Hydrometer for Accurate Testing of Natural Saltwater or Synthetic Sea Water

REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE! Accubrate calibration solution is specifically formulated to calibrate refractometers to accurately measure the salinity of saltwater, reef aquariums as well as natural seawater. ACCURATE RESULTS! Our calibration solution is formulated from a high purity blend of salts to produce accurate readings every time. Refractometers must be calibrated often to obtain accurate readings. Note: RO/DI water will not calibrate your refractometer correctly. Always use Accubrate to ensure correct salinity readings - your aquatic friends will love you. EASY TO USE: Our specially designed bottle has a built-in dropper tip which eliminates the need for a pipette. Simply squeeze a few drops of Accubrate directly from the bottle onto the refractometer’s prism slide and you are ready to calibrate your instrument. (Drops come out at a very controllable rate.). LONG-LASTING: You need just 2 to 3 drops of our calibration solution to calibrate a refractometer. Using a few drops means our 60 ml bottle should last a very long time. For best results calibrate refractometer often to ensure accurate readings.

Buy at your own risk

This liquid is NOT accurate. Compared to several other liquids, this was 4 points down, NOT 35ppm! Accuracy is very important when checking salinity in a reef aquarium. The item will be returned for a refund.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • So far so good

The solution is not exact. About 30 ppt

The resulting solution measured about 30 ppt salinity. This was verified with two independent calibration standards. It's a shame because I love the packaging and it doesn't require an eyedropper to use.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Stupid purchase - calibrate to zero with household water

What nobody tells you when you're new to a hobby. Buy a bottle of purified water from the store for 94 cents and use it to zero calibrate your refractometer. If you have reverse osmosis water at home, use it for free!

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • don't remember

Great Buy!: Refractometer

I bought a refractometer from a local aquarium store and wasn't sure if it was properly calibrated. I was so happy to find this product and found mine is a little different. This is a great and easy to use product that has helped me pinpoint any aquarium problem I may be facing.

Pros
  • Nice Packaging
Cons
  • Some Issues

Good Product: Refractometer

Only gave 4 stars because when opened everything else in the envelope seemed to be leaking. It was in his own pocket, but some of the liquid got on everything else. The lid felt tight and the 2 ounce bottle didn't seem to lose anything. It worked fine to calibrate my refractometer.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Other

Take Guess Job

When I first got my TDS meter I just calibrated it with RO/DI and figured I was fine. Long story short, I ran into issues where I got very, very different readings than my old swing arm hydrometer. I took it to my LFS and tested the water there but didn't get a reading that they keep their systems at. The problem appeared to be salt water buildup on my meter. Now I calibrate with this solution every now and then and know for sure that I'm fine.

Pros
  • Refractometer
Cons
  • Older model

Refractometer Accuracy.

I was impressed by the quality and accuracy of the refraction. I brought one over 15 years ago when it cost me nearly $200.00 to maintain the Los Angeles spa and coral. This hinge plate is broken. I tested this, same water, and the results were exactly the same. Then I tested both again with the test solution, both were dead. I paid more but didn't get more. No, if this one lasts that many years, someone else will say (: But it's very accurate and well made.

Pros
  • Instruments for analyzing substances
Cons
  • vanishing
