  • reagent, and spectrophotometric absorbance was measured in different ratios. Finally, different concentrations of PEG–PCL NPs (10–0.005 mg/mL) were added to the Bradford reagent, and colorimetric change was examined. Qualitative detection of sodium dodecyl sulfate using PEG–PCL nanoparticles The
  • –PCL) nanoparticles (10 mg/mL), 500 μL of Bradford reagent, and 100 μL of the respective metal ion solution or surfactant, with a total reaction volume of 1 mL. Visual color changes were observed, and absorbance was measured in the 300–900 nm range using a spectrophotometer (Multiskan G0, Thermo
