FAQs

  1. What are base pairs (bp)? What does it measure?

Base pairs are pairs of nucleotides inside the DNA structure. It measures the size and mass of the DNA strand. For example, a DNA strand of 250 bp has 250 pairs of nucleotides.

2. I keep on getting wrong letters and words that don't make sense! What should I do?

Please check that you have carefully matched the gel bands with the ladder band value. There are some slight differences between each ladder, and the bands and ladder should align perfectly together.
