Measure the concentration and purity of extracted DNA using absorbance (automated nanodrop machine)
Method:
- Log onto computer, open program ND 1000
- Wipe pedestal and top. Apply 3 µl of water to nib of pedestal and initiliase program
- Wipe, apply EBor appropriate blank control (3 µl) to nib, blank the system, set to DNA-50 for DNA.
- Wipe, apply sample to nib, measure
- reblank about every 10 samples
- blank with water at end, wipe and log off
Ideal concentration is 150 ng/ml
