Bicinchoninic acid bca protein assay kit

Manufactured by Nanjing Jiancheng
Sourced in China

The Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit is a colorimetric detection and quantitation method used to measure the total protein concentration in a sample. The kit utilizes the combination of the biuret reaction and the highly sensitive and selective detection of the cuprous cation (Cu+) by bicinchoninic acid.

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.
