Technology that uses a protein tag that selectively binds to amino acids to measure protein concentration. The Sprint® Rapid Protein Analyzer uses iTAG® protein-tagging technology. The iTAG® solution selectively binds to three amino acids present in proteins: histidine, arginine, and lysine. The iTAG® solution is acidic and connects with the basic group of these amino acids when they come into contact. After removing the iTAG® solution through filtration, colorimetry is used to determine protein concentration.
