UV-Vis Spectroscopy of Aug. 29 Au/BSA solutions

  • In reference to the entry of Wednesday, August 29 (a week ago), the Au and BSA solutions were made using a metal spatula. Due to its hygroscopic nature, HAuCl4 reacted with the metal spatula.
  • The Au/BSA solutions of Aug. 29 were still examined using UV-Vis. The values for each mole ratio were plotted by its intensity vs. time using MS Excel.

  • UV-visible scans of different Au/BSA mole ratios (batch August 29) incubated at 85 degrees Celsius for 4 h.


  • A closer view of the peaks of the UV-Visible scan of Au/BSA mole ratios from above.

Preparation of Au/BSA solutions

  • BSA solution was prepared by dissolving .0254 g of white crystalline powder of BSA in .025 L of water.

0.254 g of BSA × (1 mol of BSA ÷ 66430 g of BSA) = 3.82 × 10-7

3.82 × 10-7 ÷ .025 L of water = 1.53 × 10-5 mM/L
