The DNA mass concentration should be accurately estimated prior to various DNA manipulations and molecular analyses. However, there was no systematic report about the factors affecting the reproducibility of micro-volume DNA mass quantification. In this study, the performance of micro-volume analyzer and the factors affecting DNA quantification were studied systematically. The results revealed that the precision and accuracy of Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer were excellent within concentration range from 30 to 500 ngipl. The homogeneity of DNA solution had great effect on the quantification result. The concentration order for different parts of DNA solution after storage was bottom > center > upper. Furthermore, the measured results increased as delay time extended. The increased speed for smaller loading volume was faster than that for larger loading volume. In addition, the residue from the loaded sample of high concentration had a little effect on the next determination for low concentration sample. In summary, Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer was reliable for DNA quantification of micro-volume sample. And attention should be paid to solution homogeneity, delay time, loading sample volume and cross contamination during determination. This could be referred as guidance for micro-volume DNA quantification. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
