Protocol

Library Quantification Using PicoGreen Fluorometry

  1. W. Richard McCombie

Abstract

This protocol describes the quantification of DNA using PicoGreen and a fluorometer to determine the concentration of DNA sample for downstream processing. Because dye-based methods will not detect degraded or short DNA fragments, PicoGreen requires DNAs ≥50 bp, but can less reliably detect fragments as small as 20 bp.
