Investigation of the accuracy of fluorescent indicator adsorption analysis, using certain blends of known olefin content, showed per cent olefins observed to be consistently low. The use of silica gel containing 4% of its weight of water reduces the error to within the stated limits of repeatability of the method. Examination of cuts taken from columns using standard dry silica gel showed tailing of the
