Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Bovine Gamma Globulin (BGG) Standards are high-quality reference proteins used for generating standard curves and calibration controls in total protein assays, especially when quantifying immunoglobulin-rich samples. Supplied as pre-filled 1 mL ampules, each BGG standard is formulated in ultrapure 0.9% saline with 0.05% sodium azide, ensuring long-term stability at room temperature.
With a concentration of 2 mg/mL (±0.03) and verified against an internal purified Fraction II BGG standard, these ampules deliver consistent performance in Bradford (Coomassie), BCA, and other colorimetric protein quantitation assays.
