The Direct Detect system provides accurate results without the pitfalls of colorimetric assays. By measuring amide bonds in protein chains, the system accurately determines an intrinsic component of every protein without relying on amino acid composition, dye binding properties or reduction-oxidation (redox) potential. Also, evaluation of other components of complex mixtures separable from the protein spectral region, like lipids, make lysates and membrane preps easier than ever.
