Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.

DNA Concentration Calculator

Estimate double-stranded DNA concentration from absorbance at 260 nm using the standard 50 μg/ml per A260 conversion. The default UV-spectroscopy method used in every molecular-biology lab for quick nucleic-acid quantification.

Enzyme Activity Calculator

Compute enzyme activity in U/mL from the rate of absorbance change in a spectrophotometric assay using the Beer-Lambert law. One unit (U) is conventionally the amount of enzyme converting 1 µmol of substrate per minute.
