An assay is an investigative procedure in laboratory medicine, pharmacology, environmental biology, and molecular biology for qualitatively assessing or quantitatively measuring the presence or functional activity of the analyte, or the entity being targeted by the assay. Generally, assays involve biological materials or phenomena which tend to be intrinsically more complex in composition or in behavior than what can be handled by traditional chemical analysis and titration.

VWR® Protein Precipitation Kit
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
The Protein Precipitation Kit utilises a simple trichloroacetic acid (TCA) based method to precipitate proteins in complex mixtures. Only protein in the sample is pelleted, while interfering salts and surfactants remain in the supernatant. A gentle acetone wash removes TCA and co-precipitants allowing the end-user to recover the protein in a small volume of buffer.
