Refractometer calibration to 0 or 1.026?

[katguevara]

Hey all! I ordered a refractometer from amazon and the instructions say to calibrate it to zero, but I was watching some YouTube videos and it says to calibrate to 1.026. What's the right answer? Thanks!

It didn't come with solution and said to used distilled water.

Buy some calibration solution. It's better to calibrate to 1.026.

+1 I got calibration fluid off of amazon for mine. Calibrating to 0 leaves to much room for error.
