Abstract

Precise protein quantification is a crucial step in workflows involving protein extraction, isolation, and analysis. Accurate knowledge of the concentration of your protein sample is essential for proper setup and interpretation of experiments. It is also fundamental in understanding molecular interactions, signaling pathways, and pathological mechanisms, and in biomarker and drug discovery.

By attending this presentation, you will gain the foundational knowledge needed to choose the most suitable quantification method to answer your research questions.

Learning Objectives

Describe how spectrophotometry, total protein assays, ELISA, western blotting, and mass spectrometry are used for protein quantification
Understand which options are best for different scenarios based on your research objectives, sample compatibility, sensitivity, dynamic range, and ease of use
Recognize common challenges for each method such as interference from contaminants or sample complexity
Use tips and troubleshooting strategies to overcome common challenges

Webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing after live event.
