Bicinchoninic acid bca protein assay

Manufactured by CoWin Biotech
Sourced in China

The Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay is a colorimetric detection and quantitation method used to measure the total protein concentration in a sample. It relies on the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+ by protein in an alkaline medium and the subsequent chelation of the Cu+ ions by bicinchoninic acid, resulting in a purple-colored product that absorbs light at 562 nm. The intensity of the color is proportional to the protein concentration, allowing for quantitative analysis.

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.
