Notes from Meeting

  • Adjust range and use SymphoTime to better fit FCS graphs in Igor
  • Use error bars on calibration graphs (for Igor <N> values)
  • Focus on attaching AuNPs to DNA & hybridizing MB to run on FCS
  • Use a range of volumes of TES in MHA silica-coating procedure to change silica-coating thickness
    • Take absorbance data to see differences between solution, then use TEM imaging to verify presence of silica-coating
