Since the production of Cu+in this assay is a function of protein concentration and incubation time, the protein content of unknown samples may be determined spectrophotometrically by comparison with known protein standards. The two assays are of similar sensitivity, but since BCA is stable under alkali conditions, this assay has the advantage that it can be carried out as a one-step process compared to the two steps needed in the Lowry assay. ;�w� �:;�|�Ld�Gd��*mr���ȟ~�����ϊ슞�{���g�f�����\�>����g�y��G��?� ���-���n�,�[�U!B6"U�����'�^���J~g��P�h�D^�L�*�u&d^�t��Uӽ�Eٛ�G˟�Gzv���\(���G��cP�\&1��%�F��dȨB�e�Ff��C����kt^V��fGE^���N�����!ҁ�OY��q���M����HdW��x:�J�W:��{��j�f��0�v~�6��H�X-�Bώ�~$je^�f����\�;y: 0000010404 00000 n Part of Springer Nature. 23225 Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit, sufficient reagents for 500 test-tube or 5000 microplate assays . endstream endobj startxref 0000001798 00000 n In my experience with cell lysates of tendon cells, one can expect to obtain about 0.4 ng of protein/cell.
