QuantiFluor® ssDNA System

Simple, Accurate DNA Quantitation

The QuantiFluor® ssDNA System contains a fluorescent dye that enables sensitive quantitation of small amounts of single-stranded (ssDNA) in solution. Detecting and quantitating ssDNA is useful many molecular biology research applications, including studying ssDNA viruses, quantitating short synthetic ssDNA probes for site-directed mutagenesis, analysis of first-strand cDNAs, and quantitating bisulfate-treated DNA to study DNA methylation.

The QuantiFluor® ssDNA System requires less DNA (200pg) than other methods (~1 µg), so you save more of your sample for downstream assays.

Improved Sensitivity vs. Absorbance and Other Fluorescent ssDNA Quantitation Systems

For low-concentration samples, sensitivity of the QuantiFluor® ssDNA System is significantly increased compared to absorbance at 260nm (NanoDrop® method) and Qubit® ssDNA.

The dynamic range of the assay is wider than that of Qubit® ssDNA and equivalent to OliGreen® reagent.

	Sample*	Assay
QuantiFluor® ssDNA System	0.2–400ng/µl	0.2–400ng
Quant-iT™ OliGreen	0.2–400ng/µl	0.2–400ng
Qubit® ssDNA	1–200ng/µl	1–200ng
NanoDrop® 2000 Spectrophotometer	2–12,000ng/µl	2–12,000ng

*Based on 1µl sample input per assay. Quantitation of more dilute samples is possible using more input dsDNA per assay.

ssDNA Quantitation Sensitivity and Assay Linearity

The QuantiFluor® ssDNA System detects as little as 1ng/ml ssDNA in a 96-well microplate assay (corresponding to 1µl of a 200ng/ml starting sample). Detection limit is defined as greater than three standard deviations above background RFU. Sensitivity is equivalent to Quanti-IT™ OliGreen® reagent.

Easy Setup on Microplate or Single-Tube Fluorometers

The QuantiFluor® ssDNA System includes all the necessary reagents to quickly set up and quantitate single-stranded DNA, and is easy to set up on microplate or single-tube fluorometers. The System is compatible with any fluorometer capable of measuring the appropriate fluorescence excitation and emission spectra. Compatible Promega fluorometers include:
