Abstract
A homogeneous fluorescence-based nucleic acid detection and quantitation system is provided to measure nucleic acid in protein solutions. The process relies on the intercalation of a non-fluorescent dye into a double-stranded nucleic acid helix or single-stranded nucleic acid. The dye fluoresces after intercalation and the intensity is a direct measurement of the amount of nucleic acid present in the sample.
