Testing Gold and Protein in Small Hydrogels
- Using two identical sets of hydrogels - 0.1g:1mL H2O; 0.15g:1mL H2O; 0.2g:1mL H2O each for PVA 31,000, PVA 89-98,000, and PVA 130,000.
- 1 set of hydrogels were put into a centrifuge at 10:00AM to pull the water out, then given 0.25mL Au and 0.25mL BSA.
- The other set were given 0.25mL Au and 0.25mL BSA after pouring out excess water.
- Both were put into the oven at 11:30AM.
Examining Hydrogels Infused with BSA&Au
- 15mL hydrogels were put into the oven at approximately 11:30AM.
Making New Small Hydrogels
- Make another 2 sets of mini hydrogels for future use.
- 0.1g:1mL H2O; 0.15g:1mL H2O; 0.2g:1mL H2O each for PVA 31,000, PVA 89-98,000, and PVA 130,000.
- Actual values:
- PVA 31-50,000
- .1000g, .1001g, .1500g, .1500g, .2002g, .2000g (all still given 1mL of water)
- PVA 89-98,000
- .1001g, .1000g, .1500g, .1500g, .2000g, .2001g
- PVA 130,000
- .0999g, .1000g, .1499g, .1502g, .2001g, .2001g
- One set put into water bath at 80°C at 12:30PM, then taken out and put into sonicator at 1:30PM. Vials were put in freezer at 2:30PM after the solution was homogeneous.
- The second set was put into the water water bath at 80°C at 1:30PM, then taken out and put into sonicator at 2:30PM. Vials were put in freezer at 3:30PM after the solution was homogeneous.
