The entire experiment is done at room temperature. The Bradford protein assay can measure protein quantities as little as 1 to 20 μg. [14] It is an extremely sensitive technique. The dye reagent is a stable ready to use product prepared in phosphoric acid. It can remain at room temperature for up to 2 weeks before it starts to degrade.
The Bradford assay uses the spectral properties of Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 to estimate the amount of protein in a solution. [19] A protein sample is added to a solution of the dye in phosphoric acid and ethanol. Under the acid conditions the dye is normally a brownish colour but on binding to the protein the blue form of the dye is produced.
Bradford assay method uses a dye to bind to protein. Most commonly, Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 dye is used. When free of protein, the dye is red but once bound to protein it turns blue. [11] The dye-protein complex absorbs light maximally at the wavelength 595 nanometers and is sensitive for samples containing anywhere from 1 ug to 60 ug.
Marion Mckinley Bradford (October 28, 1946 - May 3, 2021) was an American scientist [1] who developed and patented the Bradford protein assay, [2] a method to quickly quantify the amount of protein in a sample. [3] [4] His paper describing the method is among the most cited scholarly articles of all time. [5] [6] [7]
BCA protein assay in a 96 well plate. The bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA assay), also known as the Smith assay, after its inventor, Paul K. Smith at the Pierce Chemical Company, [1] now part of Thermo Fisher Scientific, is a biochemical assay for determining the total concentration of protein in a solution (0.5 μg/mL to 1.5 mg/mL), similar to Lowry protein assay, Bradford protein assay or ...

A Japanese sake maker is going where no sake maker has gone before: space. Asahi Shuzo, the company behind popular Japanese sake brand Dassai, plans to blast sake ingredients to the International ...
Other more accurate spectrophotometric procedures for protein quantification include the Biuret, Lowry, BCA, and Bradford methods. An alternative method for label free protein quantification in clear liquid is cuvette-based SPR technique, that simultaneously measures the refractive index ranging 1.0 to 1.6 nD and concentration of the protein ...
