Standard Testing for the Analysis of Proteins in
Natural Rubber (NR) and its Products

 

                                                

Designation D5712 - 99

Summary of Test Method

This colormetric test method is used for the determination of protein levels in NR and its products. The test method involves the extraction of residual aqueous solubile proteins from NR followed by the precipitation of these proteins to remove interfering, water-soluble substances. The protein content is then determined by the Lowry method of protein analysis using a protein standard for quantitation. Spectrophotometric measurement is made at a wavelength in the range 600 to 750 Hz (nm).

Significance of Use

This test method, for the determination of protein levels in NR is primarily intended to test latex or related materials for residual protein content. Just send your samples, approximately 10 grams, liquid or solid, and in 13 to 15 days, you'll have the results.  

 Please to not touch the sample with free hands, only with forceps!

According to this Standard, maximum admissible protein content would be 200micrograms/g. We welcome new customers!
