DNA&RNA Measurement using UV-VIS
- Product Code: 35765
Measuring DNA&RNA concentration using UV-Vis spectroscopy
Measuring DNA&RNA concentration using UV-Vis spectroscopy
Materials Needed
1. DNA sample
2. TE buffer or nuclease-free water (for dilution if necessary)
3. UV-Vis spectrophotometer
4. Quartz cuvettes (typically 1 cm path length)
5. Pipettes and tips
6. Gloves and lab coat (for safety and contamination prevention)
Protocol
1. **Preparation of the DNA Sample:**
- If your DNA sample is concentrated, dilute it with TE buffer or nuclease-free water to a suitable concentration. Typically, a dilution factor of 1:50 or 1:100 is used.
- Mix the sample thoroughly by pipetting up and down or gently vortexing.
2. **Blank Preparation:**
- Fill a quartz cuvette with TE buffer or nuclease-free water. This will be used to blank the spectrophotometer.
- Ensure there are no bubbles in the cuvette and that it is clean on the outside.
3. **Spectrophotometer Setup:**
- Turn on the UV-Vis spectrophotometer and allow it to warm up (typically around 15 minutes).
- Set the wavelength to 260 nm for DNA measurement. Also, set the wavelengths to 280 nm and 230 nm for purity assessment.
4. **Blanking the Spectrophotometer:**
- Place the blank cuvette into the spectrophotometer.
- Close the lid and press the "blank" button to zero the instrument at 260 nm.
- Repeat this process for 280 nm and 230 nm if your instrument requires separate blanking for each wavelength.
5. **Measuring the DNA Sample:**
- Remove the blank cuvette and carefully pipette the DNA sample into a clean quartz cuvette. Ensure there are no bubbles.
- Wipe the outside of the cuvette with a lint-free tissue to remove any fingerprints or residues.
- Place the cuvette into the spectrophotometer.
- Measure the absorbance at 260 nm, 280 nm, and 230 nm.
6. **Recording and Calculating Concentration:**
- Record the absorbance values (A260, A280, and A230).
