Can detergents used to clean my glassware interfere with the assay?
Care must be exercised when cleaning glassware that will be used again for protein assays. Thorough cleaning often requires the use of a detergent, it must be completely removed in the final rinse. Also, the Coomassie dye will stain glass or quartz cuvettes. The cuvettes can be cleaned easily with our detergents followed by a thorough final rinsing with deionized water. If you prefer, disposable polystyrene cuvettes may be used to eliminate the cuvette-cleaning chore.
