β¦ Synopsis
We have used the bicinchoninic acid reagent developed by Pierce Chemical Co. to measure proteins in a simple flow injection analyzer. The sensitivity is comparable to that of the Lowry method and no pipetting of reagents is needed. Results are obtained in less than 1 min and samples may be run at a rate of 60/h. The response is linear over a range of protein concentration (O-IO rg) and sample size (5-20 ~1) convenient for most analytical requirements. A peristaltic pump, a controlled-temperature water bath, and a spectrophotometer with flow cuvette are the only special apparatus required. 0 1987 Academic press. IX.

The use of bicinchoninic acid (BCA) to measure protein concentrations has received wide acceptance because the reagent is insensitive to many of the buffers, sucrose solutions and detergents used with various tissue and enzyme preparations. However, any compound capable of reducing Cu2+ in an alkali
Flow injection analysis with amperometric detection is used for quantitating nucleic acids down to picogram level. The procedure relies on the oxidation of the bound guanine moiety at the untreated carbon paste detector, and does not require any prior derivatization or hydrolysis reactions. The resp
