Nucleic Acid Quantification
The Molecular Analysis Core provides tools for accurate DNA and RNA quantification and purity assessment. These instruments support routine sample quality control, normalization, and preparation for downstream molecular applications.
Qubit 4 Fluorometer
The Qubit 4 Fluorometer provides sensitive and selective fluorescence-based quantification ofDNA and RNA. It is ideal for applications requiring accurate nucleic acid concentration measurements, including qPCR, library preparation, and next-generation sequencing workflows.Broad-range quantification capabilities include:Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA): 4–4,000 ng per assayRNA: 20–1,000 ng per assay
NanoDrop Ultra Spectrophotometer
The NanoDrop Spectrophotometer provides rapid micro-volume measurement of DNA and RNA concentration and sample purity. Absorbance ratios can be used to assess potential contaminants and determine whether samples are suitable for downstream molecular applications.
