Gen5 version required: 1.0 or higher
Basis for the Assay:
Accurate determination of DNA concentration in a sample is important for many different procedures in molecular biology. Luminescent-based detection of dsDNA is a sensitive and specific way to detect linear dsDNA including PCR fragments. Plasmid and chromosomal DNA can be quantitated following linearization. The measurement is based upon a series of coupled enzymatic reactions that produce a light signal proportional to the amount of linear DNA in a sample. This assay requires automated injection and luminescence detection. Protocol name: dsDNA Quantitation.prt (Luminescence Reader with injectors) This protocol executes the following process: 1. Injection of the trigger reagent (100 μl) 2. Wait three seconds 3. Read sample for 1 second Results available at the end of the process are: raw data, blanked data, and the calculated DNA concentration of samples based on the standard curve.
The experiment data file does not contain any data.
