ssDNA Quantification Kit, 100 Assays



Cat. No.: BM-F1000-SD-100



Description

The Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit provides an easy and accurate method for the quantification of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or oligonucleotides. The assay can detect ssDNA concentrations between 1 and 200 ng. This kit offers advantages in stability, linear dynamic range, and sensitivity over other traditional ssDNA quantification kits. Although the Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit is not specifically selective for ssDNA over double-stranded DNA or RNA, it is selective for short oligonucleotides. Furthermore, low concentrations of contaminants such as proteins, salts, solvents, and detergents do not interfere with assay sensitivity and accuracy.

The Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit contains reagent, dilution buffer, and two ssDNA standards. The assay is performed at room temperature — simply prepare the standards and samples, then read on a fluorometer to determine the concentration of your unknown ssDNA samples.

Critical Assay Parameters:


Incubation Time: For optimal detection of ssDNA, incubate the samples and standards with the working solution for 2-3 minutes in the dark at room temperature.

Fluorometer Calibration: Users can either use the previous calibration or perform a new calibration. We recommend performing a new calibration for each assay to minimize deviations in the results.

Assay Temperature: The Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit offers optimal performance at room temperature. Therefore, all reagents must be equilibrated to room temperature before use.

Effect of Contaminants: The Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit is tolerant to common contaminants such as proteins, salts, solvents, and detergents (see table below).

Standards and Sample Preparation:

Protocol: Using the Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit with Accuris Smart Q and Qubit Fluorometers


1. Allow all components of the Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit to reach room temperature.

2. Inspect the Accuris ssDNA reagent for any precipitation. If small precipitates or particles are observed, warm the tube in a water bath until fully dissolved.

3. Prepare the required number of assay tubes, accounting for the two standards. (Use ONLY 0.5 mL thin-wall PCR tubes.)

4. Label the sample and standard tubes on the lids.

5. Prepare the working solution by diluting the Accuris ssDNA reagent 1:200 in 1X Accuris ssDNA Buffer immediately before use. For example, for eight samples plus two standards, dilute 10 μL of Accuris ssDNA Reagent in 1,990 μL of Accuris ssDNA Buffer.

6. Add 10 μL of Standard #1 and Standard #2 to the appropriately labeled tubes (see below).

7. Thoroughly mix the samples and standards, then incubate the tubes at room temperature in the dark for 2-3 minutes

Standards and Sample Measurements

Standard Curve:

1. On the Home screen, select Oligo.

2. Insert standard 1 into a reading chamber and select start symbol followed by pressing the read symbol.

3. After selecting concentration units, choose calibrate followed by Read Standards.

4. Replace standard tube 1 with standard 2 and select Read standards to obtain reading for the second standard.

5. Select Save to save the standard curve. Note: this curve may be re-used for subsequent sample readings. We recommend to prepare new standard curve each time assay is performed.


Sample Quantification:

1. On the fluorometer screen, enter the volume of the unknown sample, then select the Start icon.

2. Once the fluorometer completes the quantification, the sample concentration and Relative Fluorescence Units (RFU) will be displayed on the screen.

3. Remove the sample, insert the next sample into the test chamber, and select the Start icon.

4. Repeat Step 3 until all samples have been quantified. Note: At any point during quantification, the fluorometer screen can be swiped left to display all recorded concentrations from the current experiment, with options to print or export the results. Selecting the Calculator function allows users to calculate the molarity of the sample (note: the ssDNA length [length(bp) = lenght of ssDNA (bases)] must be entered for accurate quantification).

5. After completing the quantification process, turn off the fluorometer

Description

The Accuris™ Smart-Q™ 100 & Smart-Q™ 800 Fluorometers are designed for the precise quantification of DNA, RNA, and protein samples. By utilizing well-established methodologies for fluorescence detection, the Smart-Q Fluorometers provide higher specificity and enhanced accuracy compared to the traditional method of UV-absorbance detection. Accurate results are particularly crucial in workflows involving:

  • Next Generation Sequencing
  • PCR
  • Transfection
  • Western blotting
  • Immunoassays


The Smart-Q Fluorometers are engineered to achieve optimal performance with Accuris’ Fluorescent DNA Quantification Kits and assay tubes; however, they also maintain compatibility with a range of kits offered by various other suppliers.


Intuitive Usability

Each instrument is equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen, featuring an intuitive, icon-driven user interface. Preprogrammed protocols allow for quick & effortless assay set-up. Results are quickly calculated and displayed in less than 6 seconds, and saved to the instrument’s internal memory. All data can be also be exported easily to a PC using a USB flash drive.


Accurate Quantification

The Smart-Q Fluorometers, along with their accompanying assay kits, are engineered for the precise measurement of fluorescent dye signals that are bound to targeted biological molecules. These specially formulated dyes exhibit selective affinity towards DNA, RNA, or proteins, and generate fluorescent signals exclusively upon binding to their respective targets. Both Smart-Q models include Blue and Red channels that allow for various fluorescent dyes to be used in nucleic acid and protein measurements.

The Smart-Q Fluorometers incorporate advanced curve-fitting algorithms to establish calibration curves from standard samples of known concentrations.

The concentration of an unknown sample, whether it be DNA, RNA, or protein, is determined by correlating its Relative Fluorescence Units (RFUs) with those of the standards employed during calibration. The measurement sensitivity for each type of assay is distinct and defined by its detection limits.


Options for Throughput

The Smart-Q portfolio includes two distinct models, each designed to meet specific laboratory requirements:

The Smart-Q 100 allows for single-sample processing in 0.5mL assay tubes (NS1020-T).  This renders the Smart-Q 100 ideal for laboratories processing fewer samples.

The Smart-Q 800 caters to high-throughput workflows and allows for up to eight samples to be evaluated at once using individual 0.2mL tubes or  8 x 0.2mL strips tubes (Order no. F1001-T and F1001-T-8, ). The use of a standard 8-channel pipettor can streamline both the reagent preparation and sample transfer, making the Smart-Q 800 an efficient solution for workflows requiring parallel processing of multiple samples.
