CST, 7780S, BCA Protein Assay Kit

Detection System Kit for studying in the research area. Product Usage Information Storage Store at room temperature. Protocol Available protocols: Functional Background Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) is capable of forming an intense purple complex with cuprous ion, Cu , in an alkaline environment. Cu is produced from the reaction of protein with alkaline Cu . The resulting reaction and color produced is the basis for a common protein quantification method capable of measuring protein concentration over a wide range. Increasing protein concentrations produce proportionally deeper colors. The BCA protein assay demonstrates higher tolerances towards common interfering substances, such as nonionic detergents and buffer salts, than the Lowry technique (1).
