Do you have to calibrate the Milwaukee every time?

I am very happy with my BRS refractometer. Been using it over 2 years now and it has yet to need recalibration.

Just FYI... ATC is not a brand. It simply means Automatic Temperature Compensation. Most refractometers that say this are simply non-branded refractometers.

I have a BRS refractometer as well, and am happy with it, but have been considering a digital one.

No, I find mine holds calibration for a few uses. I usually zero it out with rodi water to make sure the lens is clean then drop in my sample to test. It really is a great little gadget, I hated having to squint and trying to read the approx sg on the reg refractos

I use a Milwaukee as well. Very pleased with it, and easy to use.

How often do you guys replace your calibration fluid? Is it possible to change over time, or as long as you keep the top on tight it should last indefinitely?

From what I've seen in person and read, this is the best out there

Thanks for all the input. I decided to give the Milwaukee digital ones try.
