3.0 Calibration Reichert Hand-Held Refractometers rarely need adjustment. To check adjust- ment, make sure the temperature of the instrument is between 70°F (21°C) and 85°F (29°C) and take a reading with distilled water. If reading departs from 1.000, correction can be made by adjusting the screw on the bottom of the instrument.
