Are the bead:sample ratios for SPRI beads the same for single stranded nucleic acids as for double stranded?

09 May 2023 0 193 Report

For example, if I have a ~3000 nt species I want to purify, should I use the ratios recommended for a 3000bp species? Or for a 1500bp species, since it's single stranded?
