PROTEIN MENU OPTIONS

The protein menu allows the user to select the required
pre-defined method from the list of on-screen options by
pressing the key adjacent to the measurement method that
is required. The Pierce 660, BCA, Bradford, Lowry, Biuret
options allow the user to construct a calibration curve that
can be used to quantify the protein content of a sample.
The direct UV method uses the absorbance values at 280
and 260nm to estimate the protein content of a sample
according to a standard formula.

PIERCE 660 ASSAY

The Pierce 660 operating menu enables the user to perform
the Pierce 660 protein assay at the specified wavelength of
660nm.

The Pierce 660 settings menu allows the user to adjust
measurement specific parameters such as the number of
standards and result resolution. Other method settings can
be altered if required, but the Pierce 660 method settings
