# Start the FLWin Lab program | |||
# Turn on the machine by clicking the on button on the side of the instrument | |||
# Go to and select the Graph Button Command | |||
# Afterwards select and the Setup Parameters Tab | |||
# Within the Setup Parameters Tab, select the Emission Tab | |||
# Set up parameters for fluorescence analysis by determining emission and excitation ranges | |||
# Afterwards, turn on the lamp source by clicking on the Lamp Button in the instrument window | |||
# Pour ~ 1-2mL of sample into a glass cuvette marked for fluorescence | |||
# Then place the sample filled cuvette within the sample holder | |||
# Next, in the Graph Window select the Lamp Button Icon to run the sample | |||
# Once the sample has finished running, back in the main window select the Save As Command | |||
# Finally officially save the sample measurement and file information as a text file under '''ASC II''' | |||

==Notes== | |||
* Microsphere sample PVOH 146K 110% CEC Laponite w/ DMHXLBR actually came out as a hunk of material rather than microspheres | |||
* For fluorescent analysis, several Rhodamine 6G dye standards were prepared in order to determine the limit of detection | |||
* Every sample previously prepared on 1/30/13 were analyzed because Rhodamine 6G dye was not crosslinked into hydrogel material | |||
* Specific parameters used to analyze fluorescence of hydrogel samples containing Rhodamine 6G dye included the following: | |||
# Excitation: 480nm | |||
# Emission Range: 500-650nm | |||
# Excitation Slit Width: 10 | |||
# Emission Slit Width: 10 | |||
# Scan Speed: 1200 | |||
