Invitrogen Qubit 4 Fluorometer
The Invitrogen Qubit 4 Fluorometer is designed to quickly and accurately quantify single-stranded or double-stranded DNA and RNA samples in as little as 1 μL. With the newest functional addition, the fluorometer can quickly assess the quality and integrity of an RNA sample. It utilize target-selective dyes that emit fluorescence when bound to DNA or RNA. Unlike UV absorbance, which can overestimate sample concentrations due to contaminants in the sample such as salts, solvents, detergents, proteins, free nucleotides. Fluorescence measurements are also much more sensitive than UV absorbance, and Invitrogen Qubit 4 is able to accurately measure dilute samples with significantly less noise.
