Abstract

ABSTRACT Although the UV absorbance of DNA at 260 nm has been recognized as a standard method for DNA quantitation, there are limitations of using UV spectrometry to determine the purity and identity of DNA. Recently, MALDI-TOF MS has proven to be an accurate technique for qualitative DNA analysis. In this study, the accuracy of MALDI-TOF MS for determining the concentration of DNA is evaluated and compared with that of the standard UV method. The results indicated that the accuracy of quantitative MALDI-TOF MS was comparable to that of the standard UV method and that measured DNA concentrations correlated well with those determined by the standard UV method.
