摘要: Abstract The ethidium bromide method of Karsten and Wollenberger (3) has been modified allowing determination DNA RNA in small samples tissue homogenates (10–30 μg wet weight) or pieces frozen-dried sections (2–5 dry weight). detection limit for ranges between 5 10 ng, depending on the origin tissue, is twice as high. present micromethod offers a good fluorimetric alternative more laborious diaminobenzoic acid assay Kissane Robins (4).
