DNA quantification can be achieved by measuring an aliquot with a fluorescent dye, such as PicoGreen® or QuantiFluor™, or by measuring the absorbance of the entire DNA sample.
DNA quantification and normalization workflows typically include the following steps:
The Infinite 200 PRO can be integrated on the workdeck, on a side extension or below the workdeck, ensuring an optimal fit into your genomics workflow.
Straightforward integration of an Infinite reader on or below the workdeck of a Fluent platform.
The Freedom EVOware® Normalization Wizard is a software component that efficiently automates pipetting steps for the quantification and normalization of nucleic acid samples.
Samples of varying concentrations are diluted to a uniform concentration across the entire microplate. This enables Freedom EVO workstations to perform all the pipetting and microplate handling steps required for sample normalization tasks.

Tab 03 / Integrated fragment analysis
***************************************************************************************
***************************************************************************************
Traditionally, quality analysis of DNA fragments is performed by agarose gel electrophoresis, which is both time consuming and labor intensive.
The Fragment Analyzer INFINITY (FAI) from Advanced Analytical offers automated multichannel capillary electrophoresis, providing high resolution separation of 96 samples in parallel.
It can accurately size and quantify nucleic acid fragments and smears from 50bp to 50kb, and can hold two different gel reagents for seamless switching between applications and sample types.
Over 20 reagent kits are available – each optimized for the analysis of different fragment lengths – for:
Integration of the FAI onto a Freedom EVO® liquid handling platform enables incorporation of important quality control checkpoints into automated genomics workflows.
This allows longer walkaway times and ensures that DNA fragments meet the quality control criteria necessary for subsequent sequencing or other downstream analyses.
Fully automated DNA quality control with Fragment Analyzer INFINITY integration on the Freedom EVO
Tecan Labwerx™ can integrate the FAI onto the right side of a Freedom EVO workstation, allowing it to be accessed by the system's Robotic Manipulator Arm. This configuration provides easy access to the FAI side panel to refill gels and conditioning liquids, as well as to empty the waste bottle.

Software to help you normalize your DNA samples to uniform concentration
DNA quantification and normalization are critical steps for a wide range of genomics applications, such as next generation sequencing and quantitative PCR. Due to the limitations of classical absorbance techniques, a number of more sensitive methods for quantification of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) have been developed over the years. Fluorescence-based techniques have proved popular with researchers, as the introduction of fluorescent dsDNA-binding dyes with minimal binding to single stranded DNA (ssDNA) and RNA allows selective quantification of even small amounts of dsDNA.
