ML (Modified Lowry) Protein Assay

G-Biosciences’ ML (Modified Lowry) Protein Assay is based on the widely cited protein assay by Lowry et. al. (1951). The ML Protein Assay is compatible with a wide variety of detergents used in protein research in addition to other common reagents such as EDTA and Tris (see tables 1 and 2). The assay is supplied with either traditional bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein standard, pre-diluted BSA protein standards, non animal protein standard or bovine ÉŁ globulin protein standard. 
 

A CL (Compatible Lowry) Protein Assay is available for samples containing reducing agents (such as dithiothreitol (DTT), ß-mercaptoethanol and TCEP) and a wide variety of commonly used laboratory agents that are known to interfere with Lowry’s protein assays (see tables 1 and 2).
