2.5.8 Oligonucleotide Quantification

The molar concentration of the used oligonucleotide primers was determined by reading the absorption of a 1:100 diluted sample at 260 nm. The molar extinction coefficient was calculated using the following per nucleotide coefficients:


N
ε260 [cm2/mol]




T 8400
A 15200
G 12010
C 7000
