Lab 06 Flashcards
What is an assay
An assay is the collection of known and unknown concentrations of something and using the known concentrations to calculate the unknown concentrations
What type of assay did we use in this lab
We used a biuret assay which is a copper based protein assay with a working range from 5-160 mg/ml and turns a blueish-purple colour when reduced
What is the dependent variable
Absorbance
What is a chromogen
What is BSA
Bovine Serum Albumin is a protein concentration standard which is stable and low reactive and used for creating standard curves
What is the independent variable
Concentration of BSA
What dye do we use
Chromogen
What is a standard curve
A graph used to determine the concentration of a chemical based on known concentrations
What is the formula to make a concentration from a stock
C1V1= C2V2
