Tools: OD260 Units of Nucleic Acid to Concentration

OD260 units =

Nucleic acid: DNA
RNA
ssDNA
Single-Stranded Oligo

Concentration =   µg/ml of nucleic acid


Formula:

OD260  x  conversion factor  =  µg/ml of nucleic acid

1 OD260 Unit  =  50µg/ml for dsDNA
1 OD260 Unit  =  40µg/ml ssRNA
1 OD260 Unit  =  35µg/ml ssDNA
1 OD260 Unit  =  20µg/ml for single-stranded oligo
