#17 Weekly Application highlight: Proteins

Proteins are large molecules made up of one or more chains of amino acids. They play a vital role in nearly all biological processes, including catalyzing chemical reactions, as well as synthesizing and repairing DNA.

The concentration of proteins can be measured at 280nm, and this property is often used in the chemical process industry to separate and purify them. Column chromatography is the most commonly used method for this purpose.

An aspect to take into consideration when monitoring proteins is the fact that they can denature when the temperature or pH is changed, or if they are exposed to chemicals.

With the Kemtrak Protein analyzer, proteins can be monitored in the range of 0-5 AU. A reliable NIST-traceable validation accessory is also available for performance verification without process interruption.
