Fuel Your Findings – Accurate mtDNA Copy Number Starts Here!
Accurately Measure Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number with Confidence
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number is a crucial biomarker for cellular health, energy metabolism, and disease research. Changes in mtDNA copy number have been linked to aging, cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases, making it an essential parameter for many studies. However, obtaining accurate and reproducible mtDNA quantification can be challenging due to off-target amplification, inefficient primers, and inconsistent normalization methods.
Are unreliable qPCR results slowing down your research?
ScienCell’s Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number Quantification qPCR Assay Kits (for human, mouse, and rat) provide researchers with a robust, precise, and easy-to-use solution for determining mtDNA copy number in cell populations.
Absolute vs. Relative mtDNA Quantification – Which One Do You Need?
Absolute Kits – Provide exact quantification with a reference DNA sample containing a known mtDNA copy number, allowing researchers to determine an actual numerical value for mtDNA copy number per cell.(cat#8948, M8948, R8948)
Relative Kits – Allow for comparative quantification between samples but do not include a reference standard, meaning results are expressed as fold differences (e.g., Sample A has 2.75× the mtDNA copy number of Sample B). (cat#
Why Choose Our Kits?
- High Specificity & Accuracy – Our mtDNA primer set targets one of the most conserved regions of mtDNA, ensuring no off-target amplification of nuclear DNA.
- Reliable Normalization – The single-copy reference gene on chromosome 17 enables accurate data normalization.
- Validated for Performance – Each primer set is rigorously tested for specificity (melt curve, gel electrophoresis) and efficiency (template serial dilution).
- Quantification with Confidence – The absolute kit includes a reference genomic DNA sample with a known mtDNA copy number, allowing for accurate calculations.
Ensure the integrity of your mitochondrial research with the most reliable qPCR assay kits available.
