DNA quantification methods

The most popular DNA quantification methods are based on UV-Vis- or fluorescence spectroscopy. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages which is why it is important to consider the methods in the context of the entire analysis, including upstream and downstream processes.

Instruments for DNA quantification

For DNA quantification a wide range of instruments are available, from small microvolume spectrophotometers to complex microplate readers. Therefore, the correct instrument is also an important point to consider when choosing a method for DNA quantification. Find out what options are available.

Influence of DNA purity on quantification

Contaminations in the purified DNA can lead to unreliable results and leads to problems in downstream assays. Learn more about how to assess the purity of your DNA and to eliminate inaccuracies caused by contaminants.
