The formula explained

Beer–Lambert law: A = \varepsilon \, c \, l
Mass concentration from A260 (normalized to 1 cm): C_{\text{mass}}(\mu g/mL) = F \times \frac{A_{260}}{l} \times D
F is the factor: 50 (dsDNA), 33 (ssDNA), 40 (RNA) µg/mL per A260; l in cm; D is the dilution factor.
Convert to ng/µL: 1\,\mu g/mL = 1\,ng/\mu L
Molarity: MW_{\text{dsDNA}} \approx 660 \times \text{bp},\quad MW_{\text{ssDNA}} \approx 330 \times \text{nt},\quad MW_{\text{RNA}} \approx 340 \times \text{nt}
C_{\text{nM}} = \dfrac{C_{\text{ng/}\mu L} \times 10^{6}}{MW\;(\text{g/mol})}
Copies per µL: \text{copies}/\mu L = C_{\text{nM}} \times 6.022\times 10^{8}

Glossary of variables

  • A260: Absorbance at 260 nm.
  • Path length (l): Optical path in cm used during measurement.
  • Dilution factor (D): Fold dilution prior to reading (≥1).
  • Factor (F): µg/mL per A260 at 1 cm; dsDNA 50, ssDNA 33, RNA 40.
  • Fragment length: Size of the nucleic acid (bp for dsDNA, nt for ssDNA/RNA).
  • Mass concentration: Reported as ng/µL and µg/mL (same numeric value).
  • Molar concentration: Reported as nM, requires fragment length and molecular weight model.
  • Purity ratios: 260/280 and 260/230, indicative of protein and reagent contamination respectively.

How it works: a step‑by‑step example

Scenario: dsDNA plasmid, A260 = 0.20, path length = 1.0 cm, dilution = 10×, fragment length = 3000 bp.

  1. Normalize A260 to 1 cm: A260/l = 0.20 / 1.0 = 0.20.
  2. Mass concentration (µg/mL): F × A260/l × D = 50 × 0.20 × 10 = 100 µg/mL = 100 ng/µL.
  3. MW ≈ 660 × 3000 = 1,980,000 g/mol.
  4. nM = (100 ng/µL × 10^6) / 1,980,000 ≈ 50.51 nM.
  5. Copies/µL = 50.51 × 6.022×10^8 ≈ 3.04×10^10 copies/µL.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What purity ratios should I expect?

Typical pure values: dsDNA 260/280 ≈ 1.8, RNA ≈ 2.0. 260/230 should be ~2.0–2.4. Lower values suggest contaminants (proteins, salts, phenol, guanidinium).

Does path length matter with microvolume instruments?

Yes. Enter the instrument’s path length (often 0.05–0.2 cm). The calculator normalizes A260 to 1 cm before applying the factor.

How accurate are the universal factors (50/33/40)?

They are widely accepted approximations for average base composition. For oligos or unusual compositions, use a custom factor or sequence-specific ε for higher accuracy.

Why do nM and copies/µL require length?

Molarity depends on molecular weight, which scales with length. Without length, only mass concentration can be computed from A260.

Can I enter negative absorbance or extremely high values?

No. Absorbance must be ≥ 0. Values above instrument linearity (often ~2–3 A) can be inaccurate; dilute samples to stay within range.

Will this work for dsRNA or modified nucleic acids?

Use the closest model (RNA for dsRNA) or a custom factor. For heavily modified bases, sequence-specific extinction coefficients yield better results.
