Quantitating DNA from FFPE Tissue: Superior sensitivity of the QuantiFluor dsDNA System versus the NanoDrop Spectrophotometer

Accurate quantitation of DNA concentration is critical for many applications. Traditional spectrophotometric assays cannot determine DNA concentrations below 2 ug/ml; however, many isolated DNA samples have concentrations well below this level. This study comparatively examines the performance of the QuantiFluor™ dsDNA System with regards to accuracy and sensitivity to sample concentrations.
