The Direct Detect® spectrometer, the first infrared (IR)-based biomolecular quantitation system, FTIR quantitation outperforms Bradford and BCA protein assays in samples containing detergents and reducing agents.
Merck provides a number of technical applications for our Direct Detect® spectrometer including protein and peptide quantitation as well as lipid analysis. Analysis of lipid or detergent content in biological samples is simplified and allows simultaneous protein quantitation and lipid analysis, in the same sample.
