DNA mass moles converter Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the DNA mass moles converter calculator and its working principles

How to use the calculator

  1. Enter the mass of your DNA sample in grams in the "DNA Mass" field.
  2. Enter the molecular weight (in daltons) of your DNA sample in the "Molecular Weight" field. This can be calculated from the base composition of your DNA.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to convert between mass and moles.
  4. The results will be displayed in the respective fields.

Understanding DNA mass and moles

DNA is typically measured by its mass in grams. To work with DNA in molecular biology, it's often more convenient to use moles, which represent a specific number of molecules.

Calculation formula

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Moles = Mass (g) / Molecular Weight (Da)

This allows you to convert between DNA mass and moles, which is essential for many molecular biology applications such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, and cloning.

Example

If you have 50 mg (0.05 g) of DNA with a molecular weight of 6600 Da:

Moles = 0.05 g / 6600 Da = 7.58 × 10⁻⁶ moles
