DNA damage assay is a standard method for determining in-vivo/in-vitro genotoxicity by measuring the breaks in the DNA chain of animal and plant cells. Initial DNA damage leads to cell cycle arrest and, at the final stages, leads to induction of senescence or cell death (apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, or mitotic catastrophe). Detection of DNA damage from mild to moderate to severe is challenging when studying genotoxicity in the pool of cells. It is favorable to use DNA damage assay kits available for prominent identification of the extent of damage in the analysis.

A standard angiogenic assay involves the autonomous endothelial cell response of self-organization into microvessels, also known as tubes when seeded on a basement membrane matrix in the presence of the appropriate growth factors. However, the component of basement membrane matrix may also affect the tube formation by endothelial cells. Hence it is important to use a standard angiogenesis assay kit or use the same membrane matrix with known composition to standardize the assay conditions.
Though DNA quantification is but one small step in the multifaceted DNA sample preparation workflow, it can have large implications on the performance and validity of conclusions drawn from downstream assays. Major challenges include accuracy, precision, reproducibility, and detection of present contamination. Among UV spectrophotometry, fluorescence and real-time PCR based methods, the quantification method should be chosen based on the requirement of the downstream assay .
