BCA Disodium（Cat No.:I007737）, or Bicinchoninic Acid Sodium, is a chemical compound used in biochemical assays for the determination of copper (Cu) and protein concentration. It is commonly employed in protein quantification assays, such as the BCA assay, due to its ability to form a purple-colored complex with proteins in the presence of Cu(II) ions. The intensity of the color formed is directly proportional to the protein concentration, allowing for accurate measurement. BCA Disodium provides a reliable and sensitive method for protein analysis in research, diagnostics, and other applications.
