Abstract From the Canadian patent

An optical scattering reference medium is formed of a plurality of scattering particles substantially uniformly dispersed in a solid medium which is an incompressible body having a surface which is sufficiently compliant to effect intimate optical coupling with the end of a light guide, whereby to provide the interfacing properties of a liquid and the static dispersal of particles as within a solid. The combination provides a sterilizable disposable package for performing repeatable photometric measurements to standardize the performance of the photometric measuring instrument.
