Lowry Assay

A colorimeter with a 40-nl cuvette has been constructed. The wall of standard capillary glass was perforated to produce a sample injection port. A section of the capillary glass was drawn to a length of 1/2 cm and 80 microns ID by heating on a microforge. This produced a cuvette volume of approximately 40 nl. Two fiber-optic filaments, 80 microns in diameter, were fixed into the cuvette to transmit and receive light from the sample. The output of the colorimeter was measured with a microscope photon-counting detection assembly. It has been shown that the colorimeter enables a reduction of the plasma volume requirements of the Lowry microprotein assay from several nanoliters to 60 pl. The linearity and reproducibility of the microcolorimeter when used with the Lowry assay has been verified. The colorimeter output is several orders of magnitude above the lower limit of detection of the photon counter.

Optical Properties Of Materials

Time correlated single photon counter was design for measuring fluorescence lifetime of emitting materials. It was designed for photonics basic research and science that is usually done in a laboratory. Furthermore, time correlated single photon counter can be used to measure simple and more practical optical properties of materials, such as refractive index. However, since the system was not designed for this practical application, a simple setup modification and calculation is required. In this work, time correlated single photon counter is utilized to measure the refractive index of sodium chloride solutions. The measurement was done using simple time of flight calculation of each pulse of picosecond pulsed laser. Our measurement was done on different concentrations of sodium chloride that have different refractive indices. It was found that the measurement technique and calculation was able to produce consistent quantitative calculation of refractive indices.
