Spectrophotometric Nucleic Acid Quantification in Microplates and Micro-Volumes

There are fluorometric and spectrophotometric methods for nucleic acid quantification. The former is used for applications requiring high sensitivity due to minute available amounts of nucleic acid; the latter is more conventionally used from common nucleic acid extraction procedures. In this application guide discusses spectrophotometric methodology as performed in microplate instrumentation and in specialized micro-volume accessories.
