BSA UV-Vis CalibrationΒΆ

This example is specifically designed to process data from a BSA calibration curve lab exercise.

To run the curve for your data:

  • Make sure the data is stored on google drive in the exp_data/UV_Vis/BSA_calib directory, and your computer is set up so that your _pyspecdata file points to google drive.

  • Just make a copy of this file, change the name of the BSW file to point to your data

  • Then edit the table inside the OrderedDict below so that it gives the correct labels and scan names for all the spectra in your run.

  • edit the background parameter below so that it points to the scan that you want to function as your baseline/background. - We would rather record the raw absorbance values, rather than rely on

    the spectrometer to subtract and hide the absorbance values of our baseline.

  • raw data
  • calibration curve
the experiments present in this file are: dict_keys(['UP_H2O', 'K-PBSbuffer', 'J-0p0078%BSA', 'H-0p0156%BSA', 'G-0p0234%BSA1', 'F-0p0311%BSA', 'G-0p0234%BSA_actual', 'E-0p0389%BSA', 'D-0p0466%BSA', 'C-0p0544%BSA', 'B-0p0622%BSA', 'A-0p0700%BSA'])
