Quant-iT™ dsDNA Assay Kits, high sensitivity (HS) and broad range (BR)

For highly selective quantitation of double-stranded DNA over RNA, the Quant-iT dsDNA Assay Kits, high sensitivity and broad range, produce fluorescence signals that are linear in the ranges of 0.2-100 ng and 2-1000 ng of DNA, respectively.

Perform dsDNA quantification easily and quickly with Quant-iT dsDNA assay kits. Both the Quant-iT High-Sensitivity dsDNA Assay Kit and the Quant-iT Broad-Range dsDNA Assay Kit provide concentrated assay reagent, dilution buffer, and pre-diluted DNA standards. These DNA assay kits are highly selective for double-stranded DNA over RNA, and, in the ranges of 0.2–100 ng DNA (for the HS dsDNA Assay Kit) and 4–1000 ng DNA (for the BR dsDNA Assay Kit), the fluorescence signal is linear.
The Quant-iT dsDNA High-Sensitivity Assay Kit and the Quant-iT dsDNA Broad-Range Assay Kit make DNA quantification easy and accurate. The kits provide concentrated assay reagent, dilution buffer, and prediluted DNA standards. Simply dilute the reagent 1:200, load 200 μL into the wells of a microplate, add 1–20 μL sample, mix, then read the fluorescence.

The assays are highly selective for double-stranded DNA over RNA, and, in the range of 0.2–100 ng for the HS assay or 4–1000 ng for the BR assay, the fluorescence signal is linear with DNA. The assays are performed at room temperature, and the signal is stable for three hours. Common contaminants such as salts, solvents, detergents, and protein are well tolerated in these assays.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Why am I getting negative fluorescence values with my Qubit Assays?

Negative fluorescence is a physical impossibility. It is an artifact from software autocorrecting for background signal. This means your reader is picking up and subtracting out background light at the cost of your data. Make sure to do a buffer-only control and assess the type of signal. You may need to switch to a different plate.

I have a Quant-iT DNA Kit and want to use it for the Qubit Fluorometer. Can I?

Yes, the manual has directions for this application. You will use the 0 ng/µL lambda dsDNA HS standard to generate Standard #1. You will prepare a dilution of the 10 ng/µL lambda dsDNA HS standard to generate Standard #2. You then prepare the samples and compare them to this 2-point standard curve. The Quant-iT dsDNA BR Kit can be used in a similar manner.

What is the useful pH range for Quant-iT DNA kits?

The buffer included in the kit should assure the proper pH range, even if your DNA is at a pH outside of this range, since at least a 10-fold excess of kit buffer over sample is used in the assay.

I'm trying to quantify some DNA labeled with a fluorophore. Will this work?

PicoGreen dye and other fluorescence-based quantification reagents are not recommended for quantifying dye-conjugated nucleic acids. The attached dye molecules can interfere with either binding and/or fluorescence output of the quantification reagents.

Does DNA length have an effect on the dsDNA assays?

Strands that are roughly in the 20-mer range or shorter show a lower level of signal. For dsDNA samples that are composed of mostly short strands, the reagent may still be used, but one should use a dsDNA standard that is of comparable length as the sample.
