Objective Redo the standard curve for the Malachite green absorption and measure the fluorescence curve for Rhodamine B. Description Measure UV-Vis spectrum of different malachite solutions. Create 2 new solutions using available stock solutions. Plot the data and determine extinction coefficients. For how to run a UV-Vis refer to [The lab notebook for August 31st] Procedure for fluorometer Fluorescence spectrometry is also a non-damaging technique meaning that that samples can be returned to their containers after testing. After cleaning the cuvette (this is done the same way as for the UV-Vis), add the sample to fill about 75% full. Insert the cuvette into the fluorometer. After saving as a .txt file to be exported, remove the cuvette from the fluorometer and return the sample to the container.
