Company:

ThermoFisher Scientific

Product Name:

Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit

Catalog Number:

23227

This kit was used to measure protein content from cell lysates. A standard curve is generated with known concentrations of BSA and unknown protein concentration is measured from the standard curve.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Protein concentration measurement from absorbance values.

Starting Material

Cell lysate, purified proteins

Tips

Can be used in microformat in 96-well plate.

Results Summary

Standard curve showing absorbance at 562 nm versus increasing concentration of BSA. The absorbance was measured with a standard plate reader at 562 nm.
