Nanoparticle Fiber

  • Determine the concentration and amounts needed for Au and BSA in a solution with 140 times more Au than BSA
    • Concentrations:

Au = .25 mM, BSA = 1.785 μM

    • Amounts:

Au = .4924 mg, BSA = 1.19 mg

  • Amounts needed multiplied by 10 to get 10 times the concentration in stock solutions
    • Theoretical Amounts:

Au = 4.924 mg, BSA = 11.9 mg

    • Actual amounts used:

Au = 5.3 mg, BSA = 12.6 mg

    • Adjusted mL based on extra amounts:

Au solution = 10.76mL, BSA solution = 10.57mL

  • 1mL was siphoned from each solution and added to 8mL of purified water.
  • The 10mL Au+BSA+H2O solution was then put into the oven for approximately 4 hours.
