Discussion In the first task of this lab, we began by filling 8 wells with 100 HRP. Then to each µ𝐿 well we added 25 of one standard or control. After this, the wells were left to incubate for 60 µ𝐿 minutes at 37 . We then removed the liquids from the wells and wash each well 3 times with 250 of the wash buffer. We then added 100 of substrate to each well and let the solution µ𝐿 µ𝐿 incubate for 15 minutes in the dark. After incubation, we place 50 of stop solution into each µ𝐿 well. In the second task of this lab, we used our smartphone to take images of each well. Using ImageJ, we obtained the intensity values for all three channels, blue, green, and red. From here we calculated the absorbance values using the blue intensities. We then graphed the blue absorbance versus the insulin concentration. This graph can be seen in the results sections of this report. The red and green intensities showed to stay pretty constant as the insulin concentration changed whereas the blue color intensities decreased as the insulin concentration increased. With the blue intensity significantly lower than the red and green intensities, it is perceived as yellow. This is why we must evaluate the blue intensities to quantify the yellowness of each microplate well. In the third task of this lab, we used three pregnancy test strips and placed them into three solutions with varying hCG concentrations for 3 seconds. After allowing the strips to dry for 5 minutes, we took pictures of each strip. We then used ImageJ to obtain the intensity values for all three channels (red, blue, and green). We then calculated the absorbance for each channel. We then graphed the absorbance versus the concentration of hCG. This graph can be seen in the results section of this lab. Although pregnancy tests are typically analyzed in a positive versus negative manner, they can actually be quantified based on the darkness of the lines. We saw that
