QuantiFluor® RNA System

Description

The QuantiFluor® RNA System contains a fluorescent RNA-binding dye that enables sensitive quantitation of small amounts of RNA in solution. Detecting and quantitating small amounts of RNA is  important for many biological applications, including determining yield of in vitro transcribed RNA and  measuring RNA concentration before Northern blot analysis, S1 nuclease assays, RNase protection assays, cDNA library preparation, RT-PCR and differential display PCR.

The QuantiFluor® System requires less RNA (100pg) than other RNA quantitation methods (~1µg), so you save more of your sample for downstream assays.

Features – Benefits

• Increase Your Sensitivity: Significantly increased sensitivity compared to absorbance results on the NanoDrop® spectrophotometer, allowing you to quantitate low-concentration samples with confidence.
• Save Precious Sample for Downstream Assays : Less template RNA required than for quantification by spectrophotometry.
• Experience Flexible Instrument Compatibility: Use easily on both the QuantiFluor®-ST Fluorometer and GloMax®-Multi Instrument. This system also can be used on any fluorescent instrument with appropriate optical channels.
• Remain Cost-Effective: Value priced, robust option for RNA quantitation.
• Use with Promega Instruments: Pre-optimized on both the Quantus™ Fluorometer and GloMax®-Multi+ Instrument.

Applications

• RNA quantitation.
