Tasks for January 28 To determine the size and concentration of Gold/Lysozyme nanoparticles from UV/vis spectra Determination of size and concentration of Gold/Lys nanoparticles Followed method described by Wolfgang Heiss et al. Measured highest peak absorbance and divided by absorbance at 450 nm to get a ratio that can be compared to tabulated values. Then matched diameter with tabulated molar absorptivity value. Found concentration using the following equation: c=A450/ε450 UV/Vis wavelength range: 400-800 nm Sample SPR Wavelength SPR Abs Abs 450 Abs Water at 450 SPR Corrected Abs Water at 529 A450 Corrected Aspr/A450 Diameter (nm) ε450 Concentration(M) Concentration (nM) 1 529 0,85 0,596 0,058 0,796 0,054 0,538 1,479553903 9,5 5,65E+07 9,52E-09 9,52 2 529 0,844 0,596 0,058 0,79 0,054 0,538 1,468401487 9,25 5,40E+07 9,96E-09 9,96 3 529 0,888 0,627 0,058 0,834 0,054 0,569 1,46572935 9,25 5,40E+07 1,05E-08 10,54 4 529 0,843 0,594 0,058 0,789 0,054 0,536 1,472014925 9,25 5,40E+07 9,93E-09 9,93 5 529 0,873 0,617 0,058 0,819 0,054 0,559 1,465116279 9,25 5,40E+07 1,04E-08 10,35 6 529 0,892 0,639 0,058 0,838 0,054 0,581 1,442340792 8,5 3,93E+07 1,48E-08 14,78 7 529 0,865 0,614 0,058 0,811 0,054 0,556 1,458633094 9 4,43E+07 1,26E-08 12,55 8 529 0,896 0,633 0,058 0,842 0,054 0,575 1,464347826 9 4,43E+07 1,30E-08 12,98 9 529 0,883 0,624 0,058 0,829 0,054 0,566 1,464664311 9 4,43E+07 1,28E-08 12,78 10 529 0,861 0,611 0,058 0,807 0,054 0,553 1,459312839 9 4,43E+07 1,25E-08 12,48 It was found that the average concentration of the colloidal AuNPs is 11.59 nM. It will be assumed that the fibers have the same concentration
