    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Biotechnology

    Background:

    • Accurate protein quantification is crucial in biological research and diagnostics.
    • Existing protein assay methods can be time-consuming or require large sample volumes.
    • Development of rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective protein assays is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a simple, rapid, and reproducible microassay for protein quantification.
    • To assess the assay's linearity, sensitivity, and compatibility with various biological substances.
    • To evaluate the assay's applicability for analyzing small protein quantities in biological fluids.

    Main Methods:

    • Proteins were immobilized on nitrocellulose (NC) filters using a microfiltration apparatus.

  • Immobilized proteins were stained with Ponceau Red 3R or amido black 10B dyes.
  • Optical density of stained protein spots was measured using a densitometer.

    • Main Results:

    • A linear relationship was observed between optical density and protein amount (0.05–10 µg).
    • The assay allowed simultaneous analysis of up to 96 samples within 1.5 hours.
    • Common biological contaminants did not interfere with the assay's performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed NC filter-based microassay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for protein quantification.
    • The assay demonstrates good reproducibility and is suitable for analyzing small protein amounts in various biological matrices.
    • This method offers a valuable tool for high-throughput protein analysis in research and clinical settings.
