Small Volume DNA Quantification
Nov 23 2009
Scientists from Affymetrix, Inc have compared the performance of Tecan’s Infinite 200 NanoQuant multimode microplate reader with other instruments on the market for low volume DNA concentration analysis. Dr Jim Collins, Director of Assay Development, explained: “We have recently developed a new generation of general cytogenetic assay, requiring precise spectrophotometric quantification of small volumes of DNA.
I have always been highly impressed with the quality of instrumentation from Tecan in terms of its robustness and reliability, and the Infinite 200 NanoQuant offers higher throughput than anything else available for quantification of low volumes, making it highly suitable for this assay.” Vicky Huynh, Jim’s colleague who carried out the evaluation, explained: “The Infinite 200 NanoQuant is a fantastic addition to our laboratory. It is quick, and the software is very easy to use.
The NanoQuant Plate™ is compatible with multichannel pipettes for high throughput, and quantification of whole microplates only takes a few minutes. The easy-to-clean plate helps to eliminate cross-contamination and there is no need to dilute samples. It is ideal for both high and low throughput, processing batches of sixteen samples in just one minute with high reproducibility.”
