Abstract
Emission spectra of water samples stored in polyethylene botles show the pressence of impurities whose concentration roughly parallels the length of storage. With excitation at 280 nm, water stored for 3 months in polyethylene gave a blank signal equivalent to the emission of 10−7 M bovine serum albumin. Caution should be exercised in using plastic bottles for fluorometric reagents.
