General Information
1.1
Introduction
Tecan’s NanoQuant Plate is intended as a general laboratory measurement
tool for the quantification of small volumes (2
μl) of nucleic acids in absorbance
mode and the measurement of the labeling efficiency of nucleic acids labeled
with fluorescent dyes. The NanoQuant Plate permits the application and
parallel measurement of 16 different samples in a single measurement
procedure. After the measurement, which is controlled by Tecan’s i-control
software, the calculation of nucleic acid content and purity check using the
260/280 ratio is performed automatically and the results are displayed in an
Excel sheet. A blanking measurement, including an integrated reference
wavelength at the beginning of the measurement procedure, functions
simultaneously as a quality control check for the entire plate and indicates any
pipetting or cleaning mistakes. The plate has been designed to meet the
requirements of research laboratories working with various types of low-volume
samples including fluorophore-labeled nucleotides.
