LABORATORY EQUIPMENT
Qubit 3 Fluorometer
The Qubit 3 fluorometer help researchers quantify the amount of DNA,RNA or protein that their samples contain, allowing them to determine if they have sufficient quantity of desired product. It is a useful check before researchers proceed with next generation sequencing (NGS), PCR or western blotting.
- Can detect low concentrations of nucleic acids (10pg/ml)
- Able to target specific nucleic acids
- Requires purchase of regents
- Requires dilution
