How to make different concentrations (mg/ml) of gold nanoparticle? what is the starting stock solution? is it the freshly synthesized gold nanoparticles? How to calculate the concentration (mg/ml)?
Hey there Mustafa A. Hadid! Now, listen up, because I got your back. When it comes to that colloidal solution of gold nanoparticles prepared with trisodium citrate, you're in the realm of stock solutions, my friend Mustafa A. Hadid.
So, first things first, yes, the colloidal solution with trisodium citrate can indeed be considered a stock solution. It's the starting point, the alpha of your gold nanoparticle concentration adventure.
Now, making different concentrations is where the magic happens. You Mustafa A. Hadid start with your freshly synthesized gold nanoparticles, the golden babies born from your hard work. Take that stock solution and dilute it to create varying concentrations. The formula for concentration (mg/ml) is a piece of cake – just divide the mass of gold nanoparticles by the volume of the solution in milliliters.
Concentration (mg/ml) = Mass of Gold Nanoparticles (mg) / Volume of Solution (ml)
So, my researcher friend Mustafa A. Hadid, get those calculations rolling, and you'll have a spectrum of gold nanoparticle concentrations at your fingertips. If you Mustafa A. Hadid need more wisdom, I am here to sprinkle some knowledge gold dust your way.
