Cold trichloroacetic acid (10 % w/v ) was added to the sample‚ centrifuged for 10 minutes to precipitate protein. The absorbance of a known volume ( 50 µl) of sample diluted with 4 milliliters distil water was measured at wavelengths 205 nm ‚ 260 and 280 nm for each subject and patient .

lab are equilibrium‚ LeChatlier’s Principle‚ Beer’s Law and Spectrocopy. The first reaction was run to completion using LeChatier’s Principle and the second reaction was run to equilibrium. A spectrophotometer was used to measure absorbances. Using a graph of absorbance versus concentration of FeSCN2+ was used to determine that the molar absorptivity constant was 3670. Beer’s Law was used to determine that the average equilibrium constant was 33.1793. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment

soda uses the most dye. Using a spectrophotometer‚ we measured how much light is absorbed by various known concentrations of red dye. After collecting this data‚ a standard curve was made that correlated the concentration of red dye #40 to its absorbance rate. Our results showed that the sample of strawberry crush had the highest concentration of red dye #40 when compared to grape soda‚ diet cherry‚ and big red. After doing this experiment‚ one knows how much red dye #40 he or she is consuming when

β-galactosidase in the different concentrations of o-Nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) using a spectrophotometer. The spectrophotometer was also set at 420nm‚ a wavelength which is best for recording the absorbance values for the experiment. From the results‚ 0.9mM ONPG solution has the highest absorbance and 0.1mM ONPG solution has the least. Also‚ 0.5mM ONPG solution has the highest rate of enzyme activity and it is the most efficient as the enzyme activity of the ONPG solution continues even though

transmittance or absorbance. Transmittance is the ratio of light passing through the sample (I) to light passing through the control (I0). Absorbance is the negative logarithm of transmittance: The absorbance of a solution depends on three things: the nature of the solution‚ the distance the light travels through the solution (called the path length)‚ and the concentration of the solution. This is summarized by the Beer-Lambert Law‚ A = abc • A is the measured absorbance • a is a constant

widely in their mode of application and information they reveal. As a useful working definition‚ spectroscopy is a study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter in the experiment it means it’s the usage of ultra-light to measure the absorbance of the copper sulpate. The regions of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately adjacent to the high- and low- energy extremes of the visible region are known as the ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) regions respectively. Thus a quantum of UV radiation

different concentration of protein sample (10 ul) were added into them; the absorbance of these standards were used for the standard curve graph. The absorbance of the control‚ patient 1‚ and patient 2 were measured by the UV-Visible Spectrometer at a wavelength of 637 nm. Results and Discussion The concentration of total protein of the control and patients‚ shown in Table 1‚ were calculated by using the y= mx+ b from the absorbance vs. concentration graph (Figure 1). An example of the calculation is shown

Aim To find out how the permeability of a beetroot membrane cell is affected by ethanol. To do this we will investigate different concentrations of alcohol (10-70%) and measure the absorbance using a colorimeter to show us how much juice has leaked out. Hypothesis I predict that as the concentration of ethanol goes up‚ the permeability will increase as the ethanol will slowly dissolve more phospholipids (lipid bilayer) and so more anthocyanin (the beetroot juice) will leak out of the membrane

The first experiment for this lab is measuring the absorbance of standard cysteine concentrations. To find the free sulfhydryl group in thiocholine‚ it is needed to use the compound DTNB. Mixing DTNB and a sulfhydryl gives a product that produces a yellow by product‚ TNB2-. The concentration is determined
