On Thursday, I ran ICP on the uncoated nanoparticles and the coated pre-dialysis nanoparticles. Since then, I have spent most of time trying to analyze the ICP data and reading literature on polyelectrolyte deposition. As a result, I have 7 excel documents open on my computer and even more pdfs!
Next week, I plan to run dialysis on the same nanoparticle sample with KCl as the salt buffer. I will then run ICP on those samples so that I can compare them to the nanoparticles that underwent dialysis with NaCl.
So fluffy! Love Tribbles!
