This study aimed to provide a novel and highly sensitive protein assay based on the biuret reaction and using chromeazurol B, a metal chelate compound. The method consists of two reagents and an automated analyzer. First, a complex of copper and protein (biuret reaction) is formed. Second, a chelating reagent containing chromeazurol B forms a three-dimensional complex of protein, copper, and chromeazurol B at neutral pH, resulting in highly sensitive coloration. The intra-assay (n = 20) variation for the three levels was 3.54 % or lower at each concentration. Each response with α, β-, and γ-globulin was 103.8 % and 104.3 %, respectively, against albumin. The molar absorption coefficient (ε) of the present method was 2.5 × 105 m2/mol against human albumin, higher than that of the commercially available Lowry method (ε = 8.7 × 104 m2/mol), which is based on the same principle. The correlation test for the pyrogallol method with 30 urine samples showed good performance (r = 0.961). The method described here (the Biuret-based CAB method) is a more sensitive and rapid assay than the Lowry method, and it may also be applied to biological samples because of its similar reactivity towards various proteins.
