Calculation Formula

Moles = Mass / Molecular Weight

Where:
Mass is the mass of DNA in grams
Molecular Weight is the molecular weight of DNA in g/mol
Moles is the amount of DNA in moles

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 (g)" field.
  2. Enter the molecular weight of your DNA in g/mol in the "Molecular Weight (g/mol)" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to convert the DNA mass to moles.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Moles of DNA" field.

Understanding the Calculation

The calculator uses the formula:

Moles = Mass / Molecular Weight

This formula allows you to convert the mass of a substance to its equivalent in moles, which is particularly useful in molecular biology when working with DNA.

Example

If you have 500 mg (0.5 g) of DNA with a molecular weight of 6600 g/mol, the calculation would be:

Moles = 0.5 g / 6600 g/mol = 0.00007575 moles

This means that your DNA sample contains approximately 0.00007575 moles of DNA.
