Standard Curve Generation

Standard curve generation is a fundamental aspect of protein measurement methods, used to correlate protein concentrations with colorimetric readings. By plotting known protein concentrations against corresponding absorbance values, a standard curve is created to quantify unknown protein samples accurately.
