La BCA (Acido bicinconinico) Protein Assay Kit is a widely utilized colorimetric method for the quantification of protein concentrations in a sample. This assay relies on the reduction of Cu^2+ ions to Cu^1+ by proteins under alkaline conditions, forming a purple-colored complex with bicinchoninic acid. The intensity of the color is directly proportional to the protein concentration, enabling accurate quantification.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use a Proteina BCA Kit di analisi:
Materiali richiesti:
- Kit per il dosaggio delle proteine BCA
- Protein standards (bovine serum albumin is commonly used)
- Sample containing unknown protein concentrations
- Micropiastra o cuvette
- Micropipette e puntali
- Lettore di micropiastre o spettrofotometro
- Acqua distillata
Procedura:
- Preparazione degli standard proteici:
- Preparare una serie di standard proteici con concentrazioni note. Questi standard verranno utilizzati per creare una curva standard per la quantificazione. Common concentrations are 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, E 1.0 mg/ml.
- Preparation of Sample:
- Dilute your protein sample to a suitable concentration within the linear range of the assay. If needed, you may need to perform a preliminary dilution to ensure that the sample falls within the standard curve.
- Preparazione del reagente di lavoro BCA:
- Mix BCA Reagent A and BCA Reagent B in a 50:1 rapporto (typically provided in the kit). Garantire una miscelazione accurata.
- Addition of Standards and Sample:
- Pipette aliquots of the protein standards and the sample into separate wells of a microplate. Each standard and sample should be run in duplicate or triplicate.
- Addition of BCA Working Reagent:
- Add an appropriate volume of the BCA Working Reagent to each well containing standards and samples. Mescolare accuratamente.
- Incubazione:
- Incubate the microplate at an appropriate temperature (typically 37°C) per 30 minutes to allow the color reaction to occur.
- Misurazione:
- Measure the absorbance of each well at 562 nm utilizzando un lettore di micropiastre o uno spettrofotometro.
- Creazione della curva standard:
- Tracciare i valori di assorbanza degli standard rispetto alle loro concentrazioni note per creare una curva standard.
- Quantification of Sample:
- Use the standard curve to determine the protein concentration of your sample based on its absorbance.
- Analisi dei dati:
- Calculate the concentration of protein in the sample based on the standard curve. Most microplate readers have software that can assist in this analysis.
