Description

dsDNA HS Assay Kit is a fast, sensitive and accurate double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) fluorescence quantitative detection kit. The kits include concentrated assay reagents, dilution buffer, and DNA standards. This kit is highly selective for dsDNA over RNA and is accurate for initial sample concentration from 10 pg/μL to 100 ng/μL. It is an ideal kit for DNA sample quantification such as NGS input DNA quantification and DNA library quantification. The kit has good tolerance to conventional contaminants such as salts, free nucleotides, solvents, detergents, and proteins.

Features

  • High Sensitivity: Maintains strong linearity across 0.2–100 ng.
  • Excellent Stability: Consistent performance across production batches.
  • Contaminant Tolerance: Resistant to interference from common impurities.

 Figure 2. Linear Relationship Test

Linear quantification of 11 dsDNA concentrations (0.5–10 ng/μL) using 12640. Fluorescence was measured with Qubit Fluorometer 3.0. Results show good linearity across 0.2–100 ng total dsDNA.

3. Dye binding specificity

Figure 3. Specificity test

Figure 3. Specificity test

Test Scheme: DNA standard S2 (1–100 ng gradient: 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 ng), along with equal-mass samples of ssDNA, RNA, dsDNA+ssDNA mix, and dsDNA+RNA mix were tested.

Conclusion: Adding equal amounts of ssDNA slightly increases the 12640 reading; error <10%(left). Adding equal amounts of RNA also increases the 12640 reading; error <10%(right).

Test Scheme: DNA libraries of different concentrations were measured using 12640 on the Qubit 3.0 with a 1 μL sample volume.

Conclusion: Fluorescence from 12640 remains stable for up to 3 h, while Yeasen#12642, Supplier T*#Q32 and Q33* maintain stable signals for up to 1 h.

5. Strong tolerance to common contaminants

6. Ultra-high stability: Thermal Acceleration Stability

Test Scheme: Four dsDNA concentrations were tested using 12640 working solution stored at 42°C, with 4°C storage as the control. Sample volume: 1 μL.

Conclusion: After 2 weeks at 42°C, the measurement error was less than 10% compared to the control, showing that 12640 remains stable under high-temperature conditions.

What fluorometer or instrument is required to run this nucleic acid quantification kit?

This kit requires a fluorometer capable of detecting the kit's excitation/emission wavelength (typically ~480/520 nm for dsDNA HS and similar dyes). The Qubit fluorometer (Thermo Fisher) or compatible fluorometer-based systems are recommended. Standard UV-Vis spectrophotometers using A260 cannot substitute for fluorometric quantification when sample purity or volume is limiting.

What is the quantification range and sensitivity of this kit?

Sensitivity varies by kit format: the HS (High Sensitivity) kit detects dsDNA as low as 0.2 ng/µL and the BR (Broad Range) kit covers 2–1000 ng/µL. Refer to the specific product datasheet for the validated linear range. Samples exceeding the range must be diluted before measurement.

Does the dye in this kit preferentially bind dsDNA over RNA or single-stranded DNA?

Yes. The HS and BR dsDNA kits contain intercalating dyes with strong preference for double-stranded DNA over RNA and ssDNA. This selectivity makes them suitable for quantifying genomic DNA, PCR products, and library preparations in the presence of residual RNA without a DNase or RNase pre-treatment step.

Is this kit compatible with NGS library quantification?

Yes. Fluorometric dsDNA quantification is the recommended method for NGS library quantification, as it measures only double-stranded library fragments and is unaffected by free adapter dimers or unincorporated nucleotides (unlike A260). For highest accuracy on sequencing libraries, combine with Bioanalyzer or TapeStation sizing.

Yeasen Biotechnology offers flexible customization options for many of its assay kits and detection reagents, including custom lot sizes, bulk ordering, and application-specific formulation adjustments. Volume pricing, custom packaging, and kit bundling may be available depending on the product and intended workflow. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and lot-specific QC data are provided with every order. For inquiries regarding large-volume orders, custom configurations, or integration into automated workflows, please contact the BioHippo team for a tailored quotation.
