The Invitrogen Qubit 4 Fluorometer is specifically engineered for rapid and precise quantification of single-stranded or double-stranded DNA and RNA samples, requiring only 1 μL of material. With its latest functional enhancement, this fluorometer efficiently evaluates the quality and integrity of RNA samples. It employs target-selective dyes that emit fluorescence upon binding to DNA or RNA. In contrast to UV absorbance, which may overestimate sample concentrations due to contaminants like salts, solvents, detergents, proteins, and free nucleotides, fluorescence measurements offer greater sensitivity. The Invitrogen Qubit 4 demonstrates the ability to accurately measure dilute samples with significantly reduced noise, making it an advanced tool in sample analysis.
