Bicinchoninic acid bca protein assay kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Canada, China

The Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit is a colorimetric detection and quantification method for determining total protein concentration in a sample. The kit utilizes the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+ by protein in an alkaline medium, and the subsequent colorimetric detection of the cuprous cation (Cu+) using a unique reagent containing bicinchoninic acid.

Samples of 3 × 108 cells of each culture in asynchronous and arrest conditions were collected and washed with stop buffer (NaCl 150 mM, NaF 50 mM, Ethylene-diamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) 10 mM and NaN3 1 mM, pH 8). Pellets were kept at −80°C. The frozen cells were thawed on ice and resuspended in 50 μl of cold lysis buffer (Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) 1X, NaF 50 mM, Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) 2 mM pH 8, NP-40 1%, p-NH2-benzamidine 1.3 mM, Phenyl methane sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) 1 mM and a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche)). Cells were broken using 750 mg of glass beads (0.4 mm, Sigma) for 15 s (three times) in a Fast-prep machine (Bio101 Inc.) and the crude extract was recovered by 0.2 ml of lysis buffer. After 30 min of centrifugation (15 000 rpm), the soluble fraction was collected and kept at −80°C. Protein concentration was determined by Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific Pierce).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
