(I want to apologize for any mistakes in spelling/language, English is not my first language)
I’m 18 years old and currently studying my last year of (what’s equivalent to) High School in the natural science program. To earn a diploma, one must do an exam-project within one’s subject. I was assigned chemistry.
My first though was to isolate caffeine from different kinds of tea and then compare the amounts, but out of the 40-ish people in my class there are already about 10 people doing this.
Then I thought about analyzing the amount of albumin-leakage within different bodily fluids such as sweat, tears and urine, but I realized I had no idea how to do this. I thought about using electrophoresis, but I haven’t gotten further than that.
Do any of you have any suggestions of what I can do as a project, or about how to analyze albumin-leakage? The course is 100 hours, but I’ll get a maximum of about 20 hours in the lab.
