Measure Protein A280
Measure Protein Concentration at A280
Use the Protein A280 application to quantify purified protein populations that contain amino
acids such as tryptophan or tyrosine, or cys-cys disulfide bonds, which exhibit absorbance at
280 nm. This application reports protein concentration measured at 280 nm and one
absorbance ratio (A260/A280). A single-point baseline correction can also be used. This
application does not require a standard curve.

Note If your samples contain mainly peptide bonds and little or no amino acids, use the
Protein A205 application instead of Protein A280.
NOTICE
• Do not use a squirt or spray bottle on or near the instrument as liquids will flow into
the instrument and may cause permanent damage.
• Do not use hydrofluoric acid (HF) on the pedestals. Fluoride ions will permanently
damage the quartz fiber optic cables.
