Terminology
Scale is the starting amount of material nanomoles (nmol)
Yield is the delivered amount of material nanomoles (nmol) OD units
OD (optical density) is a measure of concentration

Areas of Confusion
1 OD of single-stranded DNA = 33 µg/mL True for large single-stranded DNA 1 kb and longer
Why does this not apply to short oligonucleotides? Each base exerts an influence on the overall absorbance Each neighboring base exerts an influence on the overall absorbance Each oligonucleotide is custom made and has a unique sequence Therefore, what constitutes 1 OD is unique for each oligonucleotide

What is Absorbance or OD?
Beer-Lambert Law
is absorbance (or optical density (OD))
is absorption coefficient is concentration (M) is molar extinction coefficient is path length

Molar Extinction Coefficient for Oligonucleotides
Nearest-neighbor method For sequence: 5 –dATGCTTC–3′ ′
ƐdATGCTTC = ƐdApdT + ƐdTpdG + ƐdGpdC + ƐdCpdT + ƐdTpdT + ƐdTpdC - ƐpdT - ƐpdG - ƐpdC - ƐpdT - ƐpdT
Wavelength of 260 nm, neutral pH General constant extinction coefficient for single-stranded DNA
33 ng-cm/µL* Use IDT OligoAnalyzer® program to determine the value of 1 OD

*Some instruments use this constant extinction coefficient by default

Variation Due to Instruments
A major source of variation IDT calibrates spectrophotometers regularly Variations between our measurements and customers’ are always
observed Despite using the same nearest neighbor method
20–30% variation between IDT readings and yours
![Page 11: Understanding Variations in Oligonucleotide OD and Yield](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061103/53ff3d9e8d7f7253208b4598/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Yield
Yield is calculated from OD Variation between your measured and calculated OD and ours
Yield is based on OD; therefore, variations are due to the OD measurements For more details, see the article:
“Oligo Quantification—Getting it Right” in DECODED 3.1 (January 2013 issue) at www.idtdna.com/decoded

Conclusions
OD variation will always exist between us and you due to differences in instruments used
Do not be alarmed at these variations What if your OD determinations reveal a very large variation?
