Add to cart

A fluorescent dsDNA quantitation kit with a linear range of 2-1000 ng DNA. Designed for use with handheld fluorometers such as the Qubit® fluorometer from Thermo Fisher.

Product Description

The AccuGreen™ Broad Range dsDNA Quantitation Kit offers sensitive and selective detection of purified dsDNA samples.  The kit provides a linear detection range from 2 – 1000 ng and is designed for use with handheld fluorometers such as the Qubit® fluorometers from Thermo Fisher. The AccuGreen™ Broad Range assay is also available without a DNA standard (31070), for those that wish to use their own standard.

AccuGreen™ for the Qubit® fluorometer

The AccuGreen™ Broad Range dsDNA Quantitation Kit is designed for use with handheld fluorometers such as the Qubit® fluorometers from Thermo Fisher.

The linear range of the AccuGreen™ BR assay is 2 to 1000 ng of DNA per tube. DNA samples with concentrations between 0.1 and 1000 ng/uL may be quantified using sample volumes between 1 and 20 uL (for example, 1 uL of 1000 ng/uL is 1000 ng total, and 20 uL of 0.1 ng/uL is 2 ng total, which will both fall within the linear range of the assay). If you use the most common sample volume of 10 uL, the starting sample concentration should be 0.2 to 100 ng/uL.

A genomic DNA sample was quantified using both the Qubit® BR kit and the AccuGreen™ BR kit. A nearly identical result was obtained with each kit.

Fluorescence-Based dsDNA Quantitation

AccuBlue®, AccuClear® and AccuGreen™ dsDNA quantitation assays allow precise quantitation of purified dsDNA samples across a wide range of concentrations and a variety of fluorescence detection instruments. Unlike absorbance-based nucleic acid quantitation, fluorescent DNA binding dyes are highly sensitive and selective for double-stranded DNA and provide a more accurate DNA concentration in the presence of contaminating RNA and other common contaminants including free nucleotides, protein, detergents and salts.

Biotium offers dsDNA quantitiation kits and solutions for different instruments and sample concentration ranges. See the table below and visit the DNA & RNA Quantitation Technology Page for details on our full line of dsDNA and RNA quantitation kits.
