Lab report: relationship between concentration and absorbance

involves measuring the absorbance of several concentrations of the pure substance or the ” standard” substance determine relationship between concentration and absorbance compared results from unknowns How to use Linear Regression for Generating a Standard Curve? © 2010 by M. Olaveson UTSC 2 BIO A01F-Fall 2010 – ASSIGNMENT # 2 – Preparing a Standard Curve using Excel 2007 Assignment # 2 Analysis of Data from Lab 2-Exercise 2 Table 2. 6. Protein in Test Tubes prepared for Standard Curve. 1. Follow instructions in Lab Manual and complete Table 2. 6 © 2010 by M. Olaveson UTSC 3 BIO A01F-Fall 2010 – ASSIGNMENT # 2 – Preparing a Standard Curve using Excel 2007 Assignment # 2: Table 2. 7. Absorbance (at 550 nm) as a function of protein concentration. 2. Complete Table 2. 7 © 2010 by M. Olaveson UTSC 4 BIO A01F-Fall 2010 – ASSIGNMENT # 2 – Preparing a Standard Curve using Excel 2007 5. After plotting XY Scatter Plot — perform a Linear Regression Analysis to generate a “ line of best fit’ by using the “ Trendline” option Determine the Equation for the Line and the Correlation Coefficient (R2 Value) by clicking the options in the “ Trendline” menu: – choose “ intercept = 0″ – choose “ show equation” choose show “ R2 value” Use Equation to determine the protein concentration in the Unknown Sample (make sure to indicate Unknown #) Complete Assignment # 2 according to Instructions on Blackboard under “ Assignments — Assignment # 2″ and submit to your TA at beginning of Lab 3 © 2010 by M. Olaveson UTSC 6 BIO A01F-Fall 2010 – ASSIGNMENT # 2 – Preparing a Standard Curve using Excel 2007 Assignment # 2: From Table 2. 7 — use the Protein Concentration and corresponding Absorbance (at 550 nm) to plot an XY Scatter Plot (using Excel / Star Office / Graphing Program) HINT: graphing options are found in the Chart Function in Excel (use Chart Wizard) Follow instructions in: Appendix 2 (p. 196-198) in Knisely, K. 2005.
