[bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts] microplate reader for DNA + EtBr

bchs1b@jetson.uh.edu (Benedik, Michael J.) (05/30/91)

	We frequently perform nuclease assays in a microtiter dish using DNA
and ethidium bromide. After incubation the plate is photographed on a UV light
box just like a gel and we analyse the wells for loss of flourescence. 

	Does anyone out there in Netland know of a microplate reader which
will work for this application? Obviously it needs to do flourescence and must
excite at around 300nm. Any and all help appreciated.
