Objective

  • Find optimal mole ratio of HAuCl4 to BSA for formation of gold nanoparticles

Procedure

  1. Solutions were made with the mole ratios of (HAuCl4/BSA) 60, 80, 100, 120, 128, 130, 132, 133, 134, 136, 138, 140, 160, and 170. Volume of HAuCl4 stock solution was calculated for each tube and inserted. The water needed for each tube was calculated by subtracting the volume of HAuCl4 stock solution and BSA stock solution from 6mL.
    1. m1v1=m2v2
    2. 15μM*(volume BSA stock solution) = (1.5*6)

      1. .152mL HAuCl4 stock solution
      2. 5.248mL H2O
    9. 7720μM*x mL=6mL*(1.5*132μM)
