You take 0.03 ml of the flowthrough fraction, measure the absorbable using the same conditions as in the standard curve above, and get a reading of 0.52. What is the protein concentration of the flowthrough fraction (mg/ml)? y=12.235x

1 answer

To determine the protein concentration of the flowthrough fraction, we need to use the equation:

y = 12.235x

where y is the absorbance reading and x is the protein concentration (mg/ml).

Given that the absorbance reading is 0.52 and the equation is y = 12.235x, we can rearrange the equation to solve for x:

0.52 = 12.235x

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.235:

0.52/12.235 = x

x = 0.0425

Therefore, the protein concentration of the flowthrough fraction is 0.0425 mg/ml.
