This assay is commonly used for determining protein concentration. It is often used for more
dilute protein solutions where lower detection sensitivity is needed and/or in the presence of
components that also have significant UV (280 nm) absorbance. Like the other colorimetric
assays, the Bradford assay requires generating a standard curve before measuring sample
proteins.
The Bradford procedure uses the protein-induced absorbance shift of Coomassie Blue dye to
595 nm to measure protein concentration. The bound protein-dye complex is measured at
595 nm and normalized at 750 nm. A single stabilized reagent mixture containing Coomassie
Blue dye, alcohol, and surfactant in kit form is available from numerous manufacturers.

Making Protein Bradford Assay Measurements
Follow the assay kit manufacturer's recommendations for all standards and samples
(unknowns), ensuring they are subjected to the same timing and temperature throughout the
assay.
Protein standards (BSA) for generating a standard curve may also be provided by the Bradford
assay manufacturer.
