BioVision Introduces Industry’s Most Sensitive BCA Protein Assay Kits

MILPITAS, Calif. - July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Biovision’s BCA Protein Assay Kit II & ExtraSense^TM BCA Protein Assay Kit provide a colorimetric method for the quantification of total protein content even in the presence of detergents. These Kits are based on the chelation of bicinchoninic acid (BCA) with the cuprous cation (Cu⁺¹) which is generated by reduction of cupric cation (Cu⁺²) with the protein in an alkaline condition. These Kits also include Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a protein standard for estimation of total protein content of samples.

BCA Protein Assay Kit II (Catalog # K813-2500 & K813-5000) – 2500 & 5000 assays:
Key Features and Benefits of the kit:
· High Linearity: Linear over the widest range of protein concentrations (25-2000 μg/ml).
· Detergent Compatible: unaffected by typical concentrations of most ionic & non-ionic detergents.
· Colorimetric quantification (OD 562 nm).
· Convenient: Microplate & Test Tube formats.

ExtraSense^TM BCA Protein Assay Kit (Catalog # K814-2500 & K814-5000) - 2500 & 5000 assays:
Key Features and Benefits of the Kit:
· Extra Sensitive: The most sensitive protein quantitation kit on the market. Linear over a concentration range of 0.5-40 μg/ml.
· Detergent Compatible: unaffected by typical concentrations of most ionic & non-ionic detergents.
· Colorimetric quantification (OD 562 nm).
· Convenient: Microplate & Test Tube formats.

Biovision’s Reducing Agent Compatible BCA Protein Assay Kits provide a colorimetric method for the quantification of total protein content even in the presence of strong reducing agents. These Kits are adapted from BioVision’s BCA Protein Assay Kit II & are based on the chelation of bicinchoninic acid (BCA) with the cuprous cation (Cu⁺¹), which is generated by reduction of cupric cation (Cu⁺²) with the protein in an alkaline condition. These Kits also include Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a protein standard for estimation of total protein content of samples.

BCA Protein Assay Kit - Reducing Agent Compatible (Catalog # K818-1000) - 1000 assays:
BCA Protein Assay Kit (Test Tube) - Reducing Agent Compatible (Catalog # K819-250) - 250 assays:
Key Features and Benefits of the Kits:
· The Highest Reducing Agent Compatibility: only protein estimation kits on the market that are compatible with strong reducing agents such as TCEP up to 20 mM, DTT up to 10 mM & β-mercaptoethanol up to 35 mM.
· High Linearity: Linear over the widest range of protein concentrations (25-2000 μg/ml).
· Colorimetric quantification (OD 562 nm).
· Convenient: Microplate & Test Tube formats.
