The dilution ratios of Spectroline® fluorescent dyes to the host fluids shown above are only guidelines. These ratios can be increased or decreased depending on the fluorescent response required and the ambient lighting
conditions. A simple way to check for proper fluorescence is to remove a small amount of host fluid from the system and add the suggested amount of dye to it. Then shine a Spectroline® leak detection lamp on this
sample mixture and check for a bright fluorescent response.
