DNA Quantitation Kits
What are the differences between the DNA quantitation kits? Which should I choose?

AccuGreen™ kits are designed for use with the Qubit® fluorometer. All of the other kits are designed for use with 96-well fluorescence plate readers. Our quantitation kits vary in the concentration ranges of dsDNA that they are able to detect. Some of the kits also have different fluorescence excitation/emission. Visit the DNA Quantitation Kit Technology Page or consult the table below to make your selection.

What instruments can I use with your DNA/RNA quantitation kits? Do they work on Qubit®?

The AccuGreen™ DNA Quantitation Kits are designed for use on the Qubit® fluorometer. The AccuGreen™ High Sensitivity DNA Quantitation Kit is a direct replacement for the Qubit® dsDNA HS Assay Kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific. The AccuGreen™ Broad Range DNA Quantitation Kit is a replacement for the Qubit® dsDNA BR Assay Kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The AccuBlue® Broad Range RNA Quantitation is optimized for use with the Qubit® fluorometer using the pre-programmed RNA Broad Range program. It also can be used with fluorescence microplate readers equipped for detecting far-red fluorescence (Ex/Em 630/660 nm). The kit has a wide linear range of 5-1000 ng RNA, spanning those of both the Quant-iT™ RNA and Quant-iT™ RNA Broad Range Kits from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The AccuClear® and AccuBlue® DNA Quantitation Kits are designed for use with fluorescence 96-well plate readers. AccuClear®, AccuBlue® NextGen and AccuBlue® High Sensitivity kits require an instrument equipped to read green fluorescence emission (similar to FITC). These assays also can be used with fluorometers such as the Qubit® (Thermo Scientific) and QuantiFluor®-P (Promega). However, due to different linear ranges of the assays, not all of these assays are compatible with the pre-programmed DNA quantitation programs on these instruments. For users who own a Qubit® fluorometer, we recommend using our AccuGreen™ kits, which are designed for use on that instrument.

The AccuBlue® Broad Range Kit requires an instrument equipped to read blue fluorescence (Ex/Em 350/460 nm).

Which kits are the best alternatives for Quant-iT™ and Qubit® kits from Thermo Fisher Scientific?

For detection of picogram levels of DNA on a microplate reader, we recommend our AccuBlue® NextGen dsDNA Quantitation Kit (detection range 2.5 pg-3 ng dsDNA) which has higher accuracy and sensitivity than PicoGreen® in a 96-well assay format.

Also see our AccuClear® Ultra High Sensitivity dsDNA Quantation Kit, which is a great all-purpose choice: it has high sensitivity with a broad linear detection range (30 pg-250 ng dsDNA).

The AccuBlue® Broad Range RNA Quantitation has a wide linear range of 5-1000 ng RNA, spanning those of both the Quant-iT™ RNA and Quant-iT™ RNA Broad Range Kits from Thermo Fisher Scientific. It can be used with fluorescence microplate readers equipped for detecting far-red fluorescence (Ex/Em 630/660 nm), or with the Qubit® RNA Broad Range program.

If you own a Qubit® fluorometer, we recommend the following kits, which were designed for use with Qubit®:
AccuGreen™ High Sensitivity dsDNA Quantitation kit is a direct replacement for the Qubit® dsDNA HS Assay kit.
AccuGreen™ Broad Range dsDNA Quantitation Kit is a replacement for the Qubit® dsDNA BR Assay kit.
The AccuBlue® Broad Range RNA Quantitation is optimized for use with the Qubit® fluorometer using the pre-programmed RNA Broad Range program.

Note that the lower limits of kit sensitivity may depend on the detection instrument used.

Product Description

The AccuClear® Ultra High Sensitivity dsDNA Quantitation Solution offers sensitive and selective detection of purified DNA samples, designed for use with fluorescence microplate readers. AccuClear® is our most popular DNA quantitation kit, with a very wide linear detection range from 0.03 – 250 ng. This solution does not come with a DNA standard; see the AccuClear® Ultra High Sensitivity dsDNA Quantitation Kits (31028&31029) which contains calf thymus DNA standards.

Features

  • Biotium’s most popular & versatile DNA quantitation assay
  • Extremely wide linear range of 0.03-250 ng DNA
  • Highly specific for dsDNA
  • Designed for fluorescence microplate readers
  • Green fluorescence emission

Kit Components

  • AccuClear® Dye, 100X
  • DNA Quantitation Buffer, 20X Concentrate*

*Note: In order to go green and save on packaging and shipping, we have changed from a 1X to a 20X buffer.

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.
