Company:

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Product Name:

Pierce™ 660nm Protein Assay Reagent

Catalog Number:

22660

I use pure serial dilution BSA solution to get a standard curve. Then triplicate measurement of each sample gives very accurate concentration of the protein.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Protein concentration measurement

Starting Material

Various samples

Tips

Must check the blank to make sure that the detergent in the lysis buffer is not giving a background signal

Results Summary

This reagent is so essential for my daily experiment to quantify the protein levels in different samples. The sample loading amount is always consistent when I calculate based on this reagent, and gives very consistent results.

The Good

Consistent and convenient

The Bad

The Bottom Line

I think this reagent is a must-have item for a biology lab. It is compatible with bromophenol blue. You'll have to wait for 5 min before the detection, however.
