DIlutions and such
« on: August 15, 2010, 12:59:31 AM »
hey,got this Q in my textbook with no answer, i really want to work through it but i dont know whether or not the A i get is right or wrong..

A 24 hour urine sample is collected and analysed for albumin using the BCG assay. The total volume of urine is 0.8L

0.9 mL of a 1 in 2 dilution is analysed spectrophotometrically and the absorbance is 0.2. This value is in the linear part of a standrd curve generated for this assay. From the standard curve the absorbance of 0.1mg of albumin is 0.1 and 0.5 mg of albumin is 0.5.

Using a molecular weight for albumin of 66000, how many μmol of albumin are present in the original urine sample. (only enter the number and use no more than 2 decimal places)

its a little complex for me :(
appreciate the help yea

Do it step by step.

What is concentration of albumin in diluted sample?

In undiluted sample?

What is mass of albumin in the original sample?

How many moles is it?
