Protein Bradford standard curve screen
The standard curve screen shows graphically the relationship between the measured standards,
the calculated standard curve, and the measured absorbance and calculated concentration for
a selected sample. A horizontal line connects the sample absorbance value on the Y-axis to the
standard curve. A vertical line connects that point to the sample concentration value on the
X-axis.
The R
2
value indicates how well the standard curve fits the standard data points (1.0 is a
perfect fit; that is, all points lie exactly on the curve).
Note
• A baseline correction is performed at 750 nm (absorbance value at 750 nm is
subtracted from absorbance values at all wavelengths in sample spectrum).
• Micro-volume absorbance measurements and measurements taken with nonstandard
cuvettes are normalized to a 10.0 mm pathlength equivalent.
