Bicinchoninic Acid Disodium Salt (CAS: 979-88-4), commonly known as BCA disodium salt, is an important reagent in biochemical analysis and laboratory research. It is best known for its role in protein detection and quantification, particularly in BCA protein assay systems.
The BCA assay is widely used to determine protein concentration because of its convenient operation, good sensitivity, and compatibility with many biological samples. In the reaction, proteins reduce Cu²⁺ to Cu⁺ under alkaline conditions, followed by the formation of a purple-colored complex with bicinchoninic acid. The resulting color intensity can be measured spectrophotometrically and correlated with protein concentration.
Because of these characteristics, Bicinchoninic Acid Disodium Salt is frequently used in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, pharmaceutical research, and biotechnology. It is particularly useful for routine protein concentration analysis during protein purification, enzyme research, antibody development, and biological sample testing.
Its established analytical performance makes BCA-based detection an important tool for laboratories requiring reliable protein quantification.
