EFFECTS OF INSTRUMENT RESOLUTION ON ASSESSMENT OF DNA PURITY

The traditional method for quantification and assessment of purity of DNA samples is spectrophotometric measurement at 260 and 280nm . It is generally accepted that a sample of pure, double-stranded DNA of 50 g/mL will have an absorbance at 260nm of 1.0 and that the ratio of absorbance at 260 and 280nm of this...
