Following DNA Extraction, once an absorbance is obtained, the value is plugged into an equation to determine the concentration of DNA in the sample. [DNA] = (A260* Df) / 0.02 If you diluted your sample by a factor of 12.0 and obtained an absorbance of 0.0600 , what is the DNA concentration of your original sample (in ng/μL)? blank1 - Numeric Answer

The concentration of DNA in a purified sample can be measured by measuring light absorbance at 260nm (A260nm). An A260nm value of 1 corresponds to a double-stranded DNA concentration of 50 ng/μl. Plasmid DNA isolated from bacteria often needs to be diluted to obtain an accurate measurement. After resuspending 40 μL of a purified DNA sample in 760 μL of water, an absorbance of 0.27 was recorded using a spectrophotometer. What is the concentration (in ng/μL) of the original DNA sample purified?

Calculate the concentration of DNA ([DNA]) in the sample using the data shown below: The DNA sample was diluted 1/5. The Absorbance at 260 nm of the diluted solution was 0.25 What will be the Absorbance at 260 nm of a diluted solution (1/ 10) if the concentration of DNA in the sample is 50 mg/ mL? Calculate the total amount of DNA in the sample using the data shown below: Total volume of the DNA sample was 200 mL or 0.2 mL The DNA sample was diluted 1/5. Absorbance at 260 nm of the diluted solution was 0.25
