The Compat-Able™ Reagents remove salts, detergents, reducing agents and other substances from protein samples to eliminate interference with protein assays. The protocol selectively precipitates all of the protein, thereby allowing the non-protein components to be easily decanted and removed. The purified, precipitated protein is redissolved in water, making it ready for accurate determination of the protein concentration by standard protein assay methods. The procedure is accomplished in less than 10 min with just a few simple steps. The Compat-Able™ Preparation Set is available conveniently bundled with the Pierce BCA™ Protein Assay Kit.

• Eliminate incompatibilities - removes nearly any substance that interferes with colorimetric protein assays: salts, detergents, denaturants, reducing agents, and even IEF sample buffer
• Simple and fast - prepare samples in less than 10 min with four simple steps
• Convenient - reagent set is easier to use than homemade TCA or acetone precipitation reagents, thereby producing more consistent results
• Scalable - microcentrifuge method is easily scaled to larger centrifuge tube volumes for special needs
• Validated - tested and offered together with BCA Protein Assay Kits; protocol integrates control and normalisation procedures
