Nucleic Acid Purification and Quantitation
In today’s world of nucleic acid analysis by real-time PCR and next-generation sequencing, it’s crucial to purify high-quality nucleic acids from your samples. Once you accomplish that, virtually every downstream assay requires that you quantitate your DNA or RNA before you begin. Understanding how these systems work and then choosing the best chemistry for your application is essential.
DNA Purification
DNA sources differ in their challenges. Make sure the DNA purification method you use addresses the challenges your sample presents.
