Bio-Rad sells two assays:
One is a Bradford variant. It is the more sensitive but is incompatible with
detergents, dyes or strong alkali.
The other (they call it DC assay) is a Lowry variant. It is compatible with most
detergents, but not with thiols (it can, however, be made compatible with
thiols).
Hope this helps.
