25 March 2015 9 5K Report

I have 93 saliva-extracted DNA samples that I will soon load onto an Affymetrix array. All the samples have been nanodrop'ed and have clean 260/280 and 260/230 values. I had the samples assayed with picogreen by UF's core lab yesterday, and the picogreen value differences seems to be way less than what the nanodrop says.

Nanodrop's error ranges from 1269 ng/ul over to 16.7 ng/ul over. 59 of my

samples have a more than 150 ng/ul overestimation by nanodrop.

I was wondering, is this normal? Thanks!

Here are the five most and five least overestimated samples
