Objective

To synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from bovine serum albumen (BSA) and HAuCl4

Description

  1. A 10 mL aqueous mixture of 0.001 g BSA (0.0015 mM) and 0.001 g HAuCl4 (0.25 mM) was created using a 50 mM acetate buffer with a pH of 4.3.
  2. The reaction tube was then heated at 80°C for ______
  3. Every 30 minutes the UV-vis Spectrometer was used to assess the progress of the reaction. Measurements were also taken of the buffer and the reaction mixture at the beginning of the reaction. A wavelength range between 200 and 900 nm was used.

Calculations

Need 0.0015 mM of BSA 0.0015 mmol/L x 1L/1000 mL x 10 mL = 1.5 x 10-5 mol 1.5 x 10-5 mol x 66776 g/mol = 0.001 g BSA
