Quality Level

Application

Total Protein Reagent can be used for the quantitative, colorimetric determination of total protein concentration in solution at 540 nm. The total protein reagent is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid.
Total Protein Reagent has been used in the biuret assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A biuret-based total protein reagent. Copper ions in the alkaline reagent react with peptide bonds in proteins resulting in a purple color with an absorbance maximum of 540 nm.
