Cruise through genomics quantification and QC with Lunatic

Tuesday, February 24 at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 11:00 EST | 08:00 PST

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has opened new frontiers in disease discovery, diagnosis, and treatment, but biobanking and reliable sequencing demands consistent nucleic acid concentrations and quality. Fluorescent dye-based quantification is costly, time consuming, error-prone, and says nothing about purity. As biospecimen throughput increases, so does the need for fast, accurate low-volume quantification and QC.

Lunatic combines full-spectrum UV/Vis absorbance with a microfluidic plate to deliver one-step DNA or RNA purity and concentration from 96 samples in 10 minutes or less, without dyes or dilutions. For true high-throughput workflows, Lunatic integrates seamlessly with liquid handlers and plate loaders and always uses 2 µL per sample.

During this SelectScience webinar, you will learn how Lunatic quantifies DNA and RNA with 2% accuracy and 1% precision, and see direct comparisons to fluorescence assays. You will also discover how full-spectrum UV/Vis with Unmix enables rapid purity assessment and decision-making. Plus, we will highlight real-world biobank applications for DNA quantification, normalization, and QC.

Key learning objectives:

• Learn how Lunatic combines UV/Vis absorbance measurements with a low volume 96-well plate to provide quick and easy reagent-free, dilution-free, and standard-free genomics quantification
• Understand the limitations of fluorescence-based quantification for NGS workflows
• Explore how to use Unmix to identify and quantify common contaminants
• See how biobanks and high-throughput labs use Lunatic for DNA quantification, normalization, and QC
