[Josias Hernandez]

Anyone in NJ near long branch that might have an extra salinity solution to calibrate my apex neptune probe

If you are unable to find someone, make your own. This is from Dr. Randy Holmes Farley:

To make a 35 ppt seawater standard for conductivity, you make a 3.29 weight percent sodium chloride solution.

To make a 3.29 weight percent sodium chloride solution, dissolve 6.20 grams (1 teaspoon) of Morton's Iodized Salt in 182 mL (182 g) of fresh water (making a total volume of about 184 mL after dissolution of the salt). This solution can be scaled up as desired.

Hope this helps.
