The middle range and high range calibrations from steps 4 to 8 are optional if only low
range fluorescein measurement is intended.

The standard solutions shall be stored in a brown or black opaque bottle. Exposing the
fluorescein standard to light will cause the standard losing the fluorescein
concentration. Many substances, such as quaternary amine cause a negative
interference. Many other substances such laundry detergents that contain optical
brightener will cause a significant positive interference.
