Default refractometers

Can anyone tell me where I can find a good deal on a refractometer in Calgary, or where I can order one online from a Canadian company?

Maverick did the ph pen come with calibration solution.
I was going to order the same kit this weekend but
wasn't sure if I needed to get the solution also. Its a great
deal either way,about 1/2 price.

Sorry, didn't get the pH pen so I can't help you on that one. Just send an e-mail to Ivan . His response was pretty quick.

I e-mailed them to find out what brand of pH pen it was and they didn't know, said they would find out for me. So it is a bit of an unknown entity regarding accuracy and reliability.
