Protein Assays
Accurately quantifying total protein concentration is a key to most experiments and is often necessary for isolation, separation, and analysis of proteins by biochemical methods. When it is necessary to determine the total protein concentration in a sample, one of the first factors to consider is the selection of a protein assay method. These choices are typically based upon the compatibility of the method with the samples to be assayed. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Bicinchoninic acid disodium salt hydrate
Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY
Bicinchoninic acid is used for the determination of protein concentration. It is responsible for the making of intense purple complex with cuprous ion (Cu+) in the presence of alkaline conditions. The amount of Cu+ is in relation with the protein concentration.

VWR®, Bradford protein assay, proteomics grade
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
The Bradford protein assay is the preferred colorimetric assay for quantifying total protein concentration. Based upon complex formation between basic and aromatic amino acid residues with Coomassie® Brilliant Blue G-250 dye, the Bradford method is easier, faster, and more sensitive than the Lowry method.

Conjugate stabilisers
Supplier: Rockland Immunochemicals
Conjugate stabilisers are used with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase conjugated primary or secondary antibodies or other proteins or compounds in solution. The components of the stabiliser (proprietary) are unique and stabilise both the antibody and enzyme portions of the conjugate.

Protein quantitation assay kits, CB-X™ Protein assay
Supplier: G-Biosciences
CB-X™ Protein Assay is a Coomassie dye based protein assay based on the Bradford Protein Assay. For protein samples in simple, uncomplicated aqueous buffers CB-X™ is a highly sensitive, single reagent assay that can be performed in 5 minutes. For complicated protein samples, CB-X™ Protein Assay is supplied with reagents to clean up the samples and remove all reagents and chemicals that interfere with accurate protein estimation in a single step. These reagents include detergents, chaotropes, reducing agents, alkylating agents, sugars, high salt concentrations, buffering agents and chelating agents. The clean up stage and subsequent protein assay is performed in a single tube to ensure no protein loss and to maintain the accuracy of the assay.

Protein quantitation assay kits, CB™ Protein assay
Supplier: G-Biosciences
CB™ Protein Assay, a Coomassie dye based protein assay based on the Bradford Protein Assay, is suitable for the simple and rapid estimation of protein concentration. The binding of protein to the dye results in a colour change from brown to blue. The change in colour density is proportional to protein concentration. Protein estimation can be performed using as little as 0,5 µg protein.
