What is the best concentration for BCA reagent preparation for protein estimation and how can be fine tuned for low concentration of proteins?

24 September 2024 0 427 Report

For a standard BCA assay, I am checking if the protein detection can be fine-tuned without adding any other material as found in other protocols.

I came across oscillations in a pressure profile for a pipeline flow along the axis of a cylinder, how do I prove that these are not numerical err?

In terms of CFD, we often analyze the stability of the error using Von-Neumann analysis, especially for FDM based problems. Should we follow the same approach for a compressible fluid flow using FVM ?
