Do you recommend making an OD320 or OD340 subtraction correction when calculating the concentration of an oligo solution? I am specifically interested in measuring the concentration of T16 oligo accurately. -Andrew

Dear Andrew,

We typically not do recommend using a subtraction correction and recommend measuring the concentration of a T16 oligo at 260 nm, the wavelength at which thymidine absorbs. If you are trying to employ a correction for a specific buffer, the exact subtraction would depend upon the buffer you are using. Please contact us for additional information.

Best regards,
