Abstract
A method of a protein assay wherein a protein solution is treated with an acidic component followed by the addition of a precipitate-forming component, which results in precipitation of protein. The protein precipitate is collected and treated with one or more reagents of a protein assay to produce a characteristic protein color reaction. The concentration of protein is determined by measuring the optical density of protein color reaction and comparing the color reaction with a known standard.
