*20X TE Buffer (Component B)
*Oligonucleotide Standard (Component C) 18-base M13 sequence primer,

Overview

Procedures

Step 1: Preparing Reagent

  • Allow the reagent to warm to RT before opening the vial
  • Prepare an aqueous working solution of the Quant-iT OliGreen reagent by making a 200 fold dilution of the concentrated DMSO solution in 10nM Tris-HCL
1mM EDTA
pH 7.5 (TE)

Step 2: Oligonucleotide Standard Curve

  • Dilute the oligonucleotide standard, provided at 100ug/mL to 50 fold in TE to make the 2ug/mL working solution
  • For low-range standard curve from 100pg/mL to 50ng/mL prepare a 20-fold dilution of the 2ug/mL oligonucleotide solution to yield a 100ng/mL oligonucleotide stock solution
  • Dilute 100ng/mL oligonucleotude stock solution
