Knowing the protein concentration is commonly required in studies of protein biochemistry and molecular biology. A direct method of measuring protein concentration is to determine the absorbance spectrum at 280 nm. This UV-based approach helps scientists rapidly determine the concentration of protein with a procedure that is simple and non-destructive, does not need special reagents or standard curves, and consumes very little sample.
In this study, learn why the VICTOR Nivo™ multimode plate reader is a very suitable instrument for UV/Vis analysis of proteins with a µDrop™ Plate. This combination can provide robust and fast read-out of a single sample or up to 16 reads at once.
