  • Highly specific for dsDNA
  • Broad linear detection range, from 2-2000 ng
  • Designed for fluorescence microplate readers
  • Blue fluorescence emission

Kit Components

  • AccuBlue® Broad Range Dye, 100X
  • AccuBlue® Broad Range Buffer, 1X
  • AccuBlue® Broad Range Enhancer, 100X

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.
