As a wine making hobbyist I usually make my own solutions for test using a hydrometer and known Specific Gravity/Brix measure point, and zero my device with distilled water at room temperature.  Some wine supply shops sell calibration kits you might be able to use as long as you are in the 0-32 range.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [TN] calibration of Brix Refractometer

Hi TechNet
We monitor the concentration of cleaning chemical in our wash system by 
using a brix refractometer, the question has come up - how do we check 
the calibration of the refractometer.  I'm assuming that one would use a 
calibration fluid, similar to verifying an Omegameter is working.

My questions - what sort of calibration fluid would be most suitable for 
this?  Can anyone recommend a good source?  (prefer within Canada, but 
not essential)

Thanks!
