C2C12 Confluence

... be getting in my cell count just before cells are reaching confluence (70-80%). We take the number of cells counted with the cell counter and multiply by 15 mL because that is what it is suspended in.

Re:

Thanks for the response! I'm still confused as to why you would multiply by two (my second question). If 660 is the mass of the base PAIRS, I assume we are including the mass of both strands. So to me, before we multiply by two, the mass of a double strand ...

Calculating the molecular concentration of DNA

... and that a single strand base is 330. - If this is the case, wouldn't each base pair technically have different masses? A-T vs C-G? 2) Why do we multiply by two? The question says "find molar concentration of single strands of DNA..." -If 660 is the mass of a base pair, isn't it taking ...
