How to tell if Calf Thymus DNA is fully dissolved?

14 December 2021 0 8K Report

Is there any method to confirm that the CT-DNA is fully dissolved in buffer? This is because the mass to volume ratio i added CT-DNA into buffer ended up with a concentration much lower than i expected from what i read online.
