SPECTROPHOTOMETRY REPORT SHEET Download the report sheet, complete it, and then submit it via Canvas. Do not change the format. All blue shaded areas require answers. I. Parts of the spectrophotometer Experiment (dry lab) Label the parts of the spectrophotometer (digital display, wavelength readout, wavelength knob, mode button, %Transmission/Absorbance readout, 100% T knob, 0%T knob, sample holder) Name: Samantha White Unit # Spectrophotometer Lab a. Digital display b. Wavelength readout c. % transmission/absorbance readout d. Mode button e. Wavelength knob f. 100% t knob g. 0% t knob h. Sample holder
II. Relationship between wavelength and color Experiment (dry lab) Record the wavelength of where you find the deepest color. Color red orange yellow green blue violet Wavelength 750 650 600 550 500 450 III. Using the spectrophotometer to determine %transmittance (%T) and Absorbance (A) Experiment (dry lab) Outline the steps to calibrating the spectrophotometer. Fill in the blanks. 1. Adjust the ____ knob Wavelength Knob 2. Set machine to 0% T with the ____ knob 0% T Knob 3. Place blank tube in the ____. Sample Holder 4. Set machine to 100%T with ____knob 100% T Knob Question: What is the purpose of the Blank tube and why is it set at 100%T? To calibrate the machine Measuring %T and A At 540 nm sample tube measures % T 22.2 absorbance 0.654
IV. Development of a standard curve Experiment (dry labList Absorbance readings (from the lab unit slides) and calculate mg/ml. Use three significant figures. Tubes A Protein concentration mg/ml 1 0.490 10.0 2 0.250 5.0 3 0.120 2.5 4 0.600 1.25 5 0.300 0.625 blank 0 0 unknown 0.300 0.15 Take data from your table and plot protein concentration in mg/ml vs. absorbance. Draw the best fit line through your points. Plot the unknown with a different color and show extrapolation to determine protein concentration (see last slide lab unit). Complete the graph using Microsoft insert shapes (or manually graph, scan your work and embed image into report). End of Lab
