TOTAL PROTEIN |
|
|
| PURPOSE : |
 |
| The TOTAL PROTEIN (Biuret reagent) is, an end point method, used for the quantitative determination of total protein concentration in serum. |
| |
| PURPOSE : |
Alkaline solution
Protein + Cu ----------------> Cu-protein complex (Blue) |
| |
| Protein in serum forms a blue colored complex when reacted with curpic ions in an alkaline solution. The intensity of the violet color is proportional to the amount of protein present when compared to a solution with known protein concentration. |
