Technical Sheet

Technical Notice: comparison

Security Sheet

(modified lowry assay, based on bicinchoninic acid)

The high sensitivity version of the BC Assay

 

Protocol

Standard Assay

Reagent

mix 3 components A+B+C (25:25:1)

Sample (in tube microplate) 

1ml (150µl)

Reagent

1ml (150µl)

Incubation

1h at 37°C

OD reading

562nm (540-590nm)

Performances / features     Overcomes often Coomassie assay

Accuracy, Linearity

Very good, 1-100µg/ml

Protein to protein variations

Low (slightly better than BC Assay)

Sensitivity and working range

1-200µg/ml

Stability

>1 year at Room Temperature

Compatibility

Similar to BC Assay, but compatible concentrations are slighly lower because of sample/reagent volume ratio

Incompatibility

Same as for the BC Assay

Applications

Samples

Purified proteins, complex mixtures, polypeptides...

Notably containing: nucleic acids, lipids, detergents…

Alkalin samples
