How to calculate protein yield percentage
This calculator finds protein yield percentage by comparing recovered protein to starting protein amount — a standard purification efficiency metric.
How the calculation works
Yield percentage = (Recovered protein ÷ Starting protein) × 100.
Example
180 mg recovered from a starting 250 mg: (180÷250)×100 = 72%.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Protein Yield Percentage
- Track yield at each purification step to identify which step is causing the most protein loss.
- Some yield loss is expected and normal at each purification step — compare against typical benchmarks for your specific purification method.
Common Protein Yield Percentage Mistakes to Avoid
- Expecting near-100% yield through a multi-step purification process, when some loss at each step is normal and expected.
