A260/280 ratio The A260/280 ratio is generally used to determine protein contamination of a nucleic acid sample. The aromatic proteins have a strong UV absorbance at 280 nm. For pure RNA and DNA, A260/280 ratios should be somewhere around 2.1 and 1.8, respectively. A lower ratio indicates the sample is protein contaminated. The presence of protein contamination may have an effect on downstream applications that use the nucleic acid samples.
Black cap 1 & 2 = No removal of the pellet, so that mean in the two little ones they each contained DI H2O + S.M. + Quick Extract + EWL (Egg White Lysozyme)
No cap 1 & 2 = Removal of pellet, the two little tubes contain
Quick Extract + EWL (Egg White- Lysozyme)
