LOINC description : The amount of DNA in solution is determined by measuring the fluorescence of PicoGreen
when bound to the DNA and comparing these values to known standards. PicoGreen is
an intercalating dye that binds specifically to double stranded DNA. DNA concentration
can also be determined using absorbance on a spectrophotometer for both single-stranded
and double-stranded DNA.;
