<u>Determining the Concentration of the DNA stock</u> | |||
* We want to add 200 ng DNA to each sample for activity testing. | |||
* the absorbance and concentration of DNA are linearly related according to the equation: | |||
unknown [DNA]/A<sub>260</sub> = 50 ug/ml/1.0 | |||
# Took a UV-vis measurement of the DNA by putting 2 uL of DNA and 198 uL water in a small volume cuvette | |||
# Plotted the data and found the absorbance at 260 nm | |||
# Solved the above equation and found the concentration of DNA to be 1610 ug/mL | |||
# Then figured out the volume of DNA stock that contains 200 ng → there are 200 ng in 0.124224 uL. Therefore, we will add 1 uL of DNA to each sample | |||
