“…Fitting the data to a quadratic polynomial results in different (larger, see Table 1) values for max than were previously reported when only the limiting linear slope near the cmc was considered (5). In general, simply evaluating this limiting slope results in smaller and perhaps inaccurate calculated densities (51,52). An additional advantage of using a higher order polynomial is the ability to calculate the surface density as a function of concentration rather than simply its maximum value.…”
