We have developed a system for semi-automatic protein quantitation assays based on an inexpensive, general-purpose microcomputer. A commercial curve fitting program was modified for direct data input from the spectrophotometer via an analog to digital converter. The software provides specific prompts for protein assays resulting in a rapid and user friendly, semi-automated system. A listing of the protein assay results are printed, or stored to a magnetic disk, along with a graphic representation of the standard curve.
