About TP (Total-Protein) Reagent
Measurements of Total Protein are used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases involving the liver, kidney, or bone marrow as well as other metabolic and nutritional disorders. The total serum protein is the sum of all circulating proteins and is a major component of blood. It is often useful, however, in interpreting the significance of the total protein concentration to have more specific knowledge of individual fractions such as albumins and globulins.
Methodology
This Total Protein procedure is based on the modification of Weichselbaum. Cupric ions in an alkaline solution react with proteins and polypeptides containing at least two peptide bonds to produce a violet colored complex. The absorbance of the complex at 540/660 nm is directly proportional to the concentration of protein in the sample.
