A microanalytical protein assay using laser densitometry.

J R Sportsman, J H Elder

    Analytical Biochemistry
    |June 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new method determines protein content by adsorbing samples onto nitrocellulose, followed by staining and laser densitometry. This rapid, sensitive, and selective technique avoids precipitation and transfer steps for accurate protein analysis.
