Direct Detect Spectrometer

Millipore Technical Publications

	Goodbye, Bradford Assays! Drive your research forward with IR-based quantitation. What if you never had to run another Bradford or BCA? Ever? With Direct Detect™, the first infrared (IR)-based biomolecular quantitation system, just spot 2 μL of your sample, blank with buffer, and read! No sample prep, no tedious standard curves, and no messy cuvettes or liquid waste. The Direct Detect™ system provides more accurate results without the pitfalls of colorimetric assays. By measuring amide bonds in protein chains, the system accurately determines an intrinsic component of every protein without relying on amino acid composition, dye binding properties or reduction-oxidation (redox) potential. You can evaluate major components of complex mixtures separable from the Amide I & II region, like lipids and carbohydrates—making lysates and membrane preps easier than ever!
