The Quant-iT RNA assay kit is the first homogenous assay developed for quantitation of RNA in the presence of DNA.
High accuracy is achieved through the selectivity of reagents for target compounds and by the provision of separate kits for quantitation of DNA, RNA or protein.
Quant-iT assays are precise with coefficient variations of less than 5%.
The signal is unaffected by many common contaminants such as free nucleotides, salts, solvents, proteins and other nucleic acids.
Quant-iT assays are extremely simple to perform - just add sample to diluted dye and read the fluorescence; all reagents are provided ready for use.
Quant-iT DNA assay kit, high sensitivity, is ideal for quantitating PCR products, viral DNA, DNA fragments for subcloning, and other applications involving small amounts of DNA.
Quant-iT DNA assay kit, broad range, eliminates the need to dilute concentrated samples such as genomic DNA and miniprep DNA, prior to high-throughput procedures.
