Sensitive and accurate. Linear detection range 2 ng to 40 ng (100 - 2,000 ng/mL) calf thymus DNA in 96-well plate assay.
Simple and high-throughput. The mix-and-read procedure involves addition of a single working reagent and reading the fluorescence intensity. Can be readily automated as a high-throughput assay for thousands of samples per day.
Low interference. RNA, salt (up to 3M NaCl), detergent (< 0.01% SDS) and common DNA extraction buffer do not interfere in the assay. - 组件
- Reagent: 50 mL. Standard: 1 mL 10 µg/mL calf thymus DNA.
- 试剂未包括
- Pipeting devices and accessories. 1 x TE buffer. Black 96-well plates (e.g. Corning) and fluorescence plate reader. Fluorescence spectrophotometer and fluorometric cuvets.

- 应用备注
- Direct Assays: plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, cDNA, DNA following polymerase chain reaction, and DNA extracted from gel and other matrices.
- 说明
-
(1) For samples with unknown DNA concentration, pipet 1 μL sample and mix with 99 μL TE buffer. Make further serial 10-fold dilutions. Assay all diluted samples and choose dilutions at which the fluorescence intensity values fall within the linear calibration range to calculate sample DNA concentration.
(2). Calf thymus DNA serves as a standard for plant and animal DNA, because the AT content is conserved among most DNAs from these two species. For bacterial DNA, a different standard should be used that best matches the sample DNA content.
(3). Fluorescence intensity is half when binding to the same single-stranded DNA. Short single- stranded DNA pieces do not fluoresce with this dye. - 实验流程

Procedure using 96-well plate:
1. Prepare 400 µL 2000 ng/mL Premix by mixing 80 µL Standard and 320 µL TE buffer (10mM Tris, 1mM EDTA, pH 7.4). Transfer 20 µL diluted standards and samples into wells of a black flat-bottom 96-well plate. Store standards at 4°C for future use.
2. Add 200 µL working reagent and tap lightly to mix.
3. Incubate 1 min at room temperature and read fluorescence emission at 440 - 460nm (peak 450nm, excitation at 340-370 nm).
Procedure using cuvette:
1. Transfer 100 µL diluted standards and samples to cuvets.
2. Add 1000 µL working reagent and tap lightly to mix.
3. Incubate 1 min at room temperature and read fluorescence intensity at 440 - 460nm (peak 450nm, excitation at 340-360 nm). - 试剂准备

Quantitative determination of DNA by fluorimetric (340nm/450nm) method.
Procedure: 5 min.
DNA quantitation is a common practice in molecular biology. Very often DNA is available in minute quantities and the traditional UV 260 nm absorbance method requires microgram quantities for reliable results. Accurate determination of DNA concentration, especially when DNA is present at low concentrations, is crucial for reproducible results in sequencing, cloning, transfection and DNA labeling. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring DNA concentration are very desirable. This DNA assay kit is designed to accurately measure nanogram quantities of plasmid DNA, cDNA, DNA following polymerase chain reaction and DNA eluted from gels. The improved method utilizes Hoechst dye that binds specifically with double-stranded DNA. The fluorescence intensity, measured at 450nm (exc = 350nm), is directly proportional to the DNA concentration in the sample. The optimized formulation substantially reduces interference by substances in the raw samples.
