Fluorescence pH 9 Sample preparation: BSA Fluorescence Solution pH 9 [Au]=0.25 mM [BSA]=3.125 uM Vf=3000 uL Stock Concentrations 160920 [BSA]= 52.8 uM [Au]= 2.64 mM [NaOH]= 1 mM Volumes for making the solution: 177.556 uL BSA 284.09 uL Au 2508.35 uL HOH 30 uL NaOH Data Analysis The chart above shows wavelength of the emission maximums for 3.125 uM BSA, 0.25 mM Au at pH 9 over time. The emission maximum holds relative steady, fluctuating by 5 nm above and below 420 nm for the entire length of the run. The chart above shows the integrated emission for 3.125 uM BSA, 0.25 mM Au at pH 9 over time. The integrated emission intensity begins at about 8000 at the start of the run. The integrated intensity increases to 11,500 at around 1200 s (forming a peak). The integrated emission intensity then decreases until about 5500 s (to a value of about 8500 intensity units), when it slowly begins to increase up to 11,000 intensity units until the end of the run at 12,000 s. The above chart shows the first 1000 s of emission intensity vs. wavelength for 3.125 uM BSA, 0.25 mM Au at pH 9. The water raman peak is pronounced in all scans. The emission intensity is seen to increase rapidly at first, then less slowly over time. The above chart shows 1000 s.to 4500 s. of emission intensity vs. wavelength for 3.125 uM BSA, 0.25 mM Au at pH 9. The water raman peak is pronounced in all scans. The emission intensity is seen to not increase much more after 1000 s. Notes Making gold chloride solution parafilm the spatula for gold (otherwise it will corrode) keep in dust cater . slide off lid 27.8 mg rinse with water 27.8 mg, fill up to 25 ml 0.0278 g / (303.8 g / mol AuCl) / 0.025 l = 0.00366 M AuCl = 3.66 mM We prepared 45 UV Vis solutions for 0 M BSA concentration and Fructose concentrations 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.75, and 1.25 mM, for pH 4 - 12.
