Ultraviolet spectrophotometr analysers

Spectrophotometric analyses are the most common method to characterize proteins. TTie use of ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy is t rpically used for the determination of protein concentration by using either a dye-binding assay (e.g., the Bradford or Lowry method) or by determining the absorption of a solution of protein at one or more wavelengths in the near UVregion (260-280 nm). Another spectroscopic method used in the early-phase characterization of biopharmaceuticals is CD.
