Optimal Percent Agarose Concentration

A program for selecting the optimum percent agarose gel concentration for a given base pair length of dsDNA.

Length to be tested in base pairs.
(Base pair lengths shorter than 75bp should be run on a 2.5% gel and base pair lengths greater than 2000bp should be run on a 0.4% gel).
