After extraction, the quality and quantity of DNA are assessed using various techniques such as:
Spectrophotometry: Measuring absorbance to assess purity and concentration. Fluorometry: Using fluorescent dyes to quantify DNA. Agarose Gel Electrophoresis: Checking the integrity of DNA by visualizing it on a gel. qPCR: Quantifying DNA and assessing its suitability for downstream applications.
Ensuring high-quality DNA is crucial for reliable results in epidemiological studies.
