Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ • Bicinchoninic acid disodium salt hydrate has been used to monitor the levels of reducing sugars, thereby helping in the detection of chitinases._x000D_ • It has also been used to determine the amount of cellulose reducing ends (micromoles/g cellulose)._x000D_ • It has been used for determining protein concentration._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1, 5, 10, 25 g in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Bicinchoninic acid is used for the determination of protein concentration. It is responsible for the making of intense purple complex with cuprous ion (Cu+), in presence of alkaline conditions. The amount of Cu+ is in relation with the protein concentration.
