  • Experiment 7
    Experiment 11 Beer’s Law OUTCOMES After completing this experiment, the student should be able to: determine the wavelength (color) of maximum absorbance for a solution. examine the relationship between the absorbance and concentration of a solution. use absorbance data to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. DISCUSSION Colored compounds obtain their particular colors due to the wavelengths of light that they absorb and reflect (or transmit). Thus, a red solution transmits red light and absorbs other wavelengths. If one graphs how much light is absorbed by a compound at each wavelength, an absorption spectrum is obtained for the compound showing areas of high and low absorbance. For our red solution, the red wavelengths will have low absorbances (high transmittance) and the blue or green wavelengths will likely have higher absorbances (lower transmittance). If we focus on one particular wavelength for a compound, we can use the absorbance of light to determine the concentration of a solution. In general, a higher concentration of a colored solution has more light-absorbing compounds and so it will absorb more light (or transmit less light) than a solution of lower concentration. Thus, when a graph of absorbance vs. concentration is plotted for solutions of known concentration, a direct relationship should result as shown in Figure 1. This direct relationship is known as Beer’s Law and is shown by the equation A = εcl where A is the measured absorbance, ε is the molar absorptivity (a constant for the particular solute you are analyzing that is related to how strongly the solute absorbs light of a particular wavelength), c is the molar concentration of the solute, and l is the path length or the distance that the light travels through the cuvette (usually 1 cm).

  • Standard Operating Procedures
    Sassafras Samplers Monitoring Program Standard Operating Procedures 1.0 Introduction The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) outlined in this manual are designed to help guide and sustain a high quality water monitoring program. The procedures are utilized by the, RIVERKEEPER®, ShoreRivers employees and interns, and volunteers to assure that each individual or sampling crew follow the same protocols. Quality assurance in a monitoring program is essential for providing representative and accurate data for a water body, which is vital for the continuation of a monitoring program. The SOP’s are listed by section, with added instructions for safety and tips on keeping up proper maintenance of testing equipment. All volunteers are to follow these guidelines and procedures to ensure reliable, high quality data. The RIVERKEEPER®, is to use the SOP as a tool for training new volunteers during an initial training class and during coordinated periodic training sessions. 2.0 Safety Safety to staff and volunteers is of the upmost importance to ShoreRivers. There are hazards in both the field and the lab, so please use caution. For instance, during inclement weather conditions, the sampling site may become a hazard due to wet and/or slippery conditions, high winds, or torrential water that can be dangerous to the individuals sampling. It is also recommended that more than one person be on site in case of an emergency. If at any time a volunteer feels that unsafe conditions exist, they are advised to terminate that activity immediately. The tests that are performed on water samples require the use of reagents that can become hazardous if handled incorrectly.

  • Borrelia Igg ELISA Kit ( Cat # KA1465 V.01 ) For
    www.abnova.com Intended Use The kit is intended for the detection of IgG antibodies to the pathogenic borrelia strains ( B.afzelii, B. garinii and B. burgdorferi sensu stricto ) in human serum and cerebrospinal fluid. The detection of antibodies is one of the laboratory tests that help to diagnose Lyme disease (LD). The diagnosis of LD is based on the combination of clinical examination and laboratory testing. Anti-borrelia IgG antibodies are detectable 6 weeks after infection. The level of IgG antibodies usually increases with disease progression to the 2 nd stage. During the 3 rd stage of the disease the antibody levels in serum are high and can remain elevated for several years. However, clinical symptoms of LD are similar to other diseases, therefore the serological methods are of use in differential diagnosis of neuroinfections, arthropathies, carditis and skin diseases. Test Principle Borrelia IgG ELISA assay is a solid-phase immunoanalytical test. The polystyrene strips are coated with the mixture of recombinant antigens. Anti-borrelia antibodies in serum samples bind to the immobilized antigens. The serum antibodies that do not bind are washed away and those that formed complexes with the antigens are later on recognised by animal anti-human IgG antibodies labelled with horseradish peroxidase. The presence of labelled antibodies is revealed by an enzymatic reaction with a chromogenic substrate. Negative sera do not react and the mild change in colour, if present, may be attributed to the reaction background. Kit Components ELISA break-away strips (turquise) coated with specific recombinant antigens 96 wells 1.3 mL Standard A, 3 AU/mL 1) , r.t.u.

  • The ROXI Colorimeter & Fluorimeter. Laboratory Application I
    The ROXI Colorimeter & Fluorimeter. Laboratory Application I. Colorimetric measurements via Beer’s Law. Required Supplies & Costs: RGB LED; $1.95 Light Sensors; $3.95 ea 3-way switch; $6.54 300 ohm resistor; $0.10 Arduino Uno; $24.95 1. Sensor Description. The sensor consists of a common cathode RGB light emitting diode (Sparkfun Electronics, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/105 ), and two logarithmic scale analog light sensors (Adafruit Industries, https://www.adafruit.com/products/1384 ). Peak wavelengths for emission by the LED are specified as 467.5, 520, 625 nm by the manufacturer. The light sensors are powered by 2.3-6 VDC, and produce an output voltage (Vout) that is linear with the logarithm of the light intensity incident upon the sensor. The light sensors are glued onto the side of a cuvette holder that was 3D printed. Two light sensors (shown in blue in figure below) are present. The first at 180 deg. to the incident beam is for transmittance / absorbance measurements. The second detector is placed at 90 deg. angle for fluorescence or light scattering measurements. A circuit diagram for the apparatus is shown below. A 3-way switch (NKK Switch, HS13Y) distributes power to the RGB LED with current controlled via a 300-ohm resistor at the common cathode. Each light detector is powered via 5VDC, and ground is common. Two analog input channels of the Arduino are devoted to voltage measurements from the sensors. light detectors cuvette holder Vcc GND Ω Ω Ω Ω Signals Vcc GND V GND S = 5V R= 300 R= 3-way switch to distribute 5V to anode of desired color Figure 1.

  • Colorimeter a  K  C (Beer’S Law) (Order Code COL-BTA) Where K Is a Proportionality Constant
    with a constant cell width, one can assume and b to be constant. This leads to the equation Colorimeter A k C (Beer’s law) (Order Code COL-BTA) where k is a proportionality constant. This equation shows absorbance to be related directly to concentration and represents a mathematical statement of Beer’s law. The Vernier Colorimeter is designed to determine the Beer’s law is discussed in more detail below. concentration of a solution by analyzing its color In this guide and in some of our computer programs, transmittance is expressed as intensity. The color of a solution may be inherent or percent transmittance or %T. Since T=%T/100, the formula can be rewritten as derived by adding another reagent to it. The A log(100 / %T ) or A 2 log%T Colorimeter measures the amount of light transmitted through a sample at a user-selectable wavelength. Beer’s Law Using the front panel arrow keys, you may choose from four wavelengths: 430 nm, In general, absorbance is important 470 nm, 565 nm, and 635 nm. Features such as automatic sensor identification and because of its direct relationship with one-step calibration make this sensor easy to use. concentration according to Beer’s law. Many experiments in chemistry How the Colorimeter Works and biology are based on this Light from a LED light source passes through a Source Detector concept. To obtain a Beer’s law cuvette containing a solution sample, as shown in curve, several standards (solutions of Figure 1. Some of the incoming light is absorbed LED Transmitted known concentration) are prepared light by the solution.
