Project Overview

For this project I worked with Brad and a fellow student, Will Fox, to determine the caffeine levels in different samples of coffee. For this project we had to make caffeine standards to compare the samples to. The following link describes how we made these standards.

Caffeine Standards

Instrumentation

After making the standards, we tested the standards using the HPLC to see where the peaks were for the different concentrations of caffeine. The following link goes into more depth about working with the HPLC.
