The accuracy of the Lowry method in a ready-to-use formulation.
The Thermo Scientific Pierce Modified Lowry Protein Assay is a stable form of a traditional, 2-component, folin phenol- and copper-based reagent system to measure (A750nm) total protein concentration compared to a protein standard.
The Modified Lowry Protein Assay Kit combines a stabilized formulation of the original Lowry Reagents and the essential Folin-Ciocalteu Phenol reagent in a complete kit for accurately determining protein concentration in a variety of samples types. Although newer protein assay methods provide greater speed and convenience, the Lowry method remains a popular, accurate and useful option for many applications.
Highlights:
Popular method – widely cited in protein research literature
Colorimetric – measure with a standard spectrophotometer or plate reader (750nm)
Stable – uses a modified cupric sulfate-tartrate reagent that is stable at room temperature
Large range – exhibits good linearity in the range 1 to 1500µg/mL (tested with BSA protein)
Convenient – microplate and cuvette protocols provided with the instructions
