DNA Quantitation
DNA
purification methods cannot differentiate between human DNA and contaminating bacterial
and fungal DNA. Therefore, if the sample is not pristine and you want to determine the
human genomic DNA concentration, you will need a human-specific DNA quantitation system.
The most common systems are based on real-time PCR.
Featured Product for Human DNA Quantitation
Plexor® HY System
The
Plexor® HY System is a real-time PCR method that simultaneously
quantifies total human DNA and male DNA. This dual quantitation system uses the Plexor®
technology, which results in decreasing fluorescence as the amplification
progresses and provides consistent DNA detection down to 6.4pg.
