Enter your DNA concentration, vector concentration, and other details into the calculator to determine the necessary ligase volume for your reaction.

Ligase Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the ligase volume required for your NEB ligase reaction.

Ligase Volume = (DNA Concentration * Insert to Vector Ratio + Vector Concentration) / Reaction Volume

Variables:

  • DNA Concentration is the concentration of your DNA sample (ng/μL)
  • Vector Concentration is the concentration of your vector sample (ng/μL)
  • Insert to Vector Ratio is the ratio
