The dsDNA Quantification Broad Range Kit and dsDNA Quantification High Sensitivity Kit are developed for double stranded DNA quantification using microplate readers. The DNA Quantification BR kit includes BR Dye, BR Dilution Buffer, and BR DNA Standards. The DNA Quantification HS kit includes HS Dye, HS Dilution Buffer, and HS DNA Standards. Simply dilute the Dye with the Dilution Buffer, add DNA sample, then read the concentration using microplate reader. The BR assay is accurate in the linear range from 4 to 1000 ng and the HS assay is accurate in the linear range from 0.2 to 100 ng. Both kits are highly selective for double-stranded DNA over RNA.
The Quantification Kits have several advantages over traditional DNA quantitation such as sensitivity, stability, and tolerance of contaminants.
Both kits reduce the cost of DNA quantification by 60% as compared to other brands.

Save 60% of the costs.
The performance of the kit is nearly identical to that of Thermo Fisher’s kit (figure below).

Common contaminants such as salts, free nucleotides, solvents, detergents, RNA, single stranded DNA, or protein are well tolerated in the assay (Table 1).
This kit provides a rapid spin column method for the isolation and purification of total DNA from a wide range of food samples originating from animals or plants. The kit is designed for identification of GMO-DNA or animal components in food and feed and can be used for a wide range of starting materials including raw or processed food, meat, liquids, sauces and dairy products including milk, cheese and yogurt.
This kit also provides a convenient method for the detection of food-related pathogens and will isolate such DNA (enriched or as is) including Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungi which may contaminate food sources. A number of pathogens have been tested including E. coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica & Campylobacter jejuni. The purified DNA is of the highest integrity, and can be used in a number of downstream applications including PCR based detection, sequencing and genotyping.

PAX-8 is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors, which are key regulators in early development. This protein plays a role in development of thyroid follicular cells and the expression of thyroid-specific genes, with mutations in the PAX-8 gene linked to thyroid follicular carcinomas, atypical thyroid adenomas, and thyroid dysgenesis. The PAX-8 protein is expressed in simple ovarian inclusion cysts and non-ciliated mucosal cells of the fallopian tubes, but is absent from normal ovarian surface epithelial cells. PAX-8 is also not expressed in normal lung or lung carcinomas. Reports have associated PAX-8 expression with renal carcinoma, nephroblastoma, and seminoma, and have indicated PAX-8 as a useful marker for renal epithelial tumors, ovarian cancer, and for differential diagnoses in lung and neck tumors. Anti-PAX-8 can be useful in determining the primary site of invasive micropapillary carcinomas of ovary from bladder, lung, and breast, when used in adjunct with a panel of organ-specific markers such as uroplakin, mammaglobin, and TTF-1.
