1. A process for detecting and quantitating an amount of a nucleic acid in a protein solution, comprising:

  • a) measuring at least one light-emitting characteristic of a plurality of test solutions, each having a different known amount of nucleic acid and each having a nucleic acid detecting label;

    b) forming a curve based on the light-emitting characteristic measurements of step a);

    c) adding the label to a sample of the protein solution having a detergent and measuring at least one light-emitting characteristic from the sample; and

    ,d) comparing the light-emitting characteristic measurements of step c) with the curve and determining the amount of nucleic acid in the sample.
