Task for October 1

  • To determine fluorophore concentration

Fluorescence

Procedure followed as directed by Dr. Hartings on Oct. 1<br.>

  1. Made stock concentrations of R6G (both groups can use the same solutions)
    1. 0.10uM
    2. 0.50uM
    3. 1.0uM
    4. 1.5uM
    5. 2.0uM
  2. Take UV-Vis and Fluorescence spectra of these samples.
  3. Make a calibration curve based on UV-Vis.
    1. Compare your data to some published values
  4. Make a calibration curve based on the fluorescence.
    1. In order to do this, you'll need to measure the area under the fluorescence curve, not just the fluorescence peak height.
