27. ON OF PROTEIN CONCENTRATION USING DIRECT UV METHODS The direct UV method of protein determination has a number of advantages over traditional colorimetric assays in that it does not rely on an external protein standard and the sample is not consumed in the assay However the presence of nucleic acid in the protein solution can have a significant effect due to strong nucleotide absorbance at 280 nm This can be compensated by measuring A260 and applying the equation of Warburg and Christian for the protein crystalline yeast enolase Equation 1 Protein concentration mg ml 1 55 x Abs280 0 76 x Abs260 1 Protein concentration Factor 1 x Abs280 Factor 2 x Abs260 2 The BioDrop spectrophotometers use default A260 and A280 factors of 0 76 and 1 55 respectively These factors can be edited so that the equation can be applied to other proteins Equation 2 Compensation for background dilution and pathlength can also be entered To customise Equation 2 for a particular protein the A260 and A280 values should be determined at known protein concentrations to generate simple simultaneous equations which when solved provides the two coefficients In cases where Factor 2 is found to be negative it should be set to zero since it means there is no contribution to the protein concentration due to absorbance at 260 nm The A260 A280 ratio also gives an indication of protein purity a ratio of 0 57 can be expected for pure protein samples

88. ur touch screen The BioDrop TOUCH spectrophotometer offers a comprehensive range of spectrophotometric and life science applications The BioDrop uLite is a split beam spectrophotometer which has similar specifications to that of the TOUCH but differs by harbouring a microvolume sample port for analysis The in built sample port has a path length of 0 5mm unlike that of the TOUCH 10mm The BioDrop Duo spectrophotometer displays specifications attributed to both the TOUCH and uLite It contains a sample port for rapid microvolume analysis and offers BioDrop CUVETTE analysis as in the TOUCH A spectrophotometer is an optical device that is designed to transmit a beam of light through a sample Transparent solutions absorb specific wavelengths of light based on their unique molecular composition Absorbance is proportional to concentration of a sample Absorbance peaks of a sample can also be used to identify its molecular composition In kinetic studies the tracking of absorbance over time can be useful to study chemical reactions and biological processes The BioDrop spectrophotometers are designed to emit light from the far ultraviolet 190 nm to the visible light 1100 nm Many materials and in particular solutions of materials will absorb light within this region This makes BioDrop spectrophotometers useful in a wide range of applications including life sciences clinical pharmaceutical cosmetics food amp drink agricultural industrial
