title: Rapid DNA quantification method in microplates using daunorubicine fluorescence quenching.
abstract: We have developed a rapid, sensitive and inexpensive method to quantify DNA in crude extracts or PCR reaction products using daunorubicine fluorescence quenching. We obtained a linear standard curve from 4.7 ng to 600 ng DNA and no interaction was observed in the presence of proteins.
