pH Optimization

Reaction Mixture

  • 20μL Prussian Blue Ferritin (CONCENTARION)
  • 16μL Substrate (TMB or ABTS, 10mg/mL)
  • 32μL Hydrogen Peroxide (30%)
  • Buffer (pH 3.6) up to 268μL WHAT PH DID WE DOOOOOOOOOOOO

The reaction was conducted in room temperature for 10 minutes and the absorbance value was recorded at 10 second intervals. Absorbance for TMB was taken at 650nm, and absorbance for ABTS was taken at 415nm. Eight replicates were conducted. Substrates were the last reagent to be added to the mix. The experiment was conducted multiple times with buffers of varying pHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH .
