µg/L of PC. The conversion factor was determined using a known concentration of extracted PC in buffer solution, diluted in water. The actual concentration estimated by the FluoroSense is semi-quantitative at best as extracted PC has a different fluorescence yield from PC contained within live algal cells. -

Page 11: B Linear Range, Quenching And Temperature Considerations
Appendix B: Linear Range, Quenching and Temperature Considerations Linear Range and Quenching The linear range is the concentration range in which the readout of the FluoroSense is directly proportional to the concentration of the fluorophore in the sample. The linear range begins with the lowest detectable concentration and spans to an upper limit concentration that is dependent on the properties of the fluorescent material and the cuvette optical path length.
