Introduction
The iQuant™ RiboGreen RNA Assay Kit is one of the most sensitive detection kits for quantitation of RNA in solution, with linear fluorescence detection in the range of 1-200 ng of RNA. The iQuant™ RiboGreen RNA Reagent enables quantitation of as little as 1 ng/mL RNA (200 pg RNA in a 200 µL assay volume) with a fluorescence microplate reader. The linear range of the iQuant™ RiboGreen RNA Reagent extends over three orders of magnitude in RNA concentration (1 ng/mL to 1 µg/mL) using two dye concentrations (Figure 1). The high-range assay allows quantitation of 20 ng/mL to 1 µg/mL RNA, and the low-range assay allows quantitation of 1 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL RNA. The assay kit contains RiboGreen RNA Reagent, assay buffer, and RNA standard. The assay is well tolerated to common contaminants such as proteins, salts, nucleotides, urea, ethanol, chloroform, detergents, and agarose.

Method of upload your assay to your Qubit 3.0 or 4 Fluorometer
1. After download the Zip file, unzip it. Then transfer the assay (.qbt) file to the root directory of a USB drive.
2. Insert the USB drive containing the new assay file into the USB port of the Qubit Fluorometer.
3. Go to the Settings screen and touch Import new assay. The instrument searches the USB drive for assay file(s) and displays their names on the Import new assay screen.
