The fluorimeter is a laboratory instrument that serves as a DNA or protein quantification device because it accurately measures the amount of fluorescence present in a sample in widely used applications such as PCR. | The fluorimeter is a laboratory instrument that serves as a DNA or protein quantification device because it accurately measures the amount of fluorescence present in a sample in widely used applications such as PCR. The Fluorimeter that was used in this lab was a black box that has a space in the middle. The space in the middle was used to easily slide in the hydrophobic glass slides. The Hydrophobic slides were used so that the substance could stay as a bubble due to the hydrophobic properties. There is a switch on the side of the box and when it is flipped on the fluorimeter transmits a blue LED light. That blue light goes through the substance that is on the glass slide.*Need to add more sentences* <br><br> | ||

ProcedureSmart Phone Camera Settings
Calibration The camera was placed in the cradle in front of the fluorimeter and the camera application selected. There was a box covering the whole set to not have any outside source of light. Based on the view of the blue light, the camera position was adjusted until the droplet would be large and centered on the screen. The distance between the drop and cradle was then measured. With a timer enabled on the camera we were able to close the lid on the box to create a closed environment. [Instructions: Describe how to set up your camera in front of the fluorimeter. Add a PHOTO of this set-up for bonus points.]
[Instructions: See worksheet page 6.]
Data AnalysisRepresentative Images of Samples [Instructions: Show an IMAGE where you drew a circle around the droplet with the freehand tool for a sample with no DNA] [Instructions: Show an IMAGE where you drew a circle around the droplet with the freehand tool for a sample with DNA (positive signal)]
Image J Values for All Samples [Instructions: See worksheet page 8. To save time on typing a new Wiki table from scratch, use THIS TOOL to auto-generate a Wiki table: Excel-to-Wiki Converter. Copy the headers and values from the Excel spreadsheet you made, paste them into the form field, click submit, copy the Wiki code that the tool generated, and replace TABLE GOES HERE (below) with your auto-generated code.]
