Absorbance in microplate assays

Explore absorbance through measurement principles, assay guidance and practical observations. Follow the questions that match your experiment.

01

Assay method comparisons

Different methods can report different aspects of the same sample. Compare what each format measures before choosing a readout.

  1. DNA quantification: five methods, five different answers

    DNA mass, target copies, amplifiable library molecules and fragment integrity are different measurements. Choose the answer your next experiment needs before choosing the instrument.
