Bradford Assay

The Bradford assay is a laboratory method used to measure the concentration of proteins in a solution. It works by adding a special dye, called Coomassie Blue, to the protein sample. When the dye binds to proteins, it changes color, which can be measured using a spectrophotometer. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the amount of protein present. This assay is popular due to its speed, simplicity, and sensitivity, making it useful in various fields like biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmaceuticals for assessing protein content in samples.
