Fluorescence 201697

Protocol

  1. Starting the Peltier controller
    1. Make sure that the ribbon cord connects the peltier controller and the cuvette holder
    2. Fill the chiller bucket with water
    3. Place the aquarium pump (with tubes attached to the Peltier heat exchanger) into the bucket and plug in the pump so that water flows
    4. Turn on the peltier controller (switch in the back of the instrument)
    5. Use the arrow buttons to set the temperature.
  2. Turning off the Peltier controller
    1. Turn the controller power off
    2. Unplug the aquarium pump
    3. Dump the water from the bucket into the sink


Sample Preparations

stock solutions

  1. BSA
    1. 25.33 mg of myoglobin with water in 10.0 mL volumetric flask
    2. MW = 66776 g/mol
    3. concentration = 37.93 μM

samples

  1. BSA Fluorescence
    1. 3 mL total
      1. 0.25 mM Au
      2. 3.125 μM BSA
      3. HCl or NaOH appropriate for your pH
      4. water
  2. BSA for UV-Vis during next session
    1. 5 mL total
      1. 0.25 mM Au

Fluorescence data

This graph was comprised from fluorescent scans taken once every five minutes. There is a steady increase in the peaks of the data over the course of time.


After the initial datapoint, there is a drastic increase in emissions. This increase is not constant, as the rest of the data collected throughout the duration of the experiment were relatively similar. The datapoints appeared to form a plateau, however upon closer inspection, there is a slight increase in the emissions as time goes on.


This graph displays the integrated fluorescence over time. The data resembles a minor parabola for the first 50 minutes of the experiment. The data then flattens out to just below 5,000 until it reaches 100 minutes. At 100 minutes there is a severe spike in the data, and integrated fluorescence increases to over 20,000. There is a steady linear increase in the integrated fluorescence for the remainder of the experiment.
