If you want a specific size of CT DNA fragment, you could, however, run it with a prep. comb, isolate the band (which would be of a specific size), extract from the agarose, and then you would be able to make a more sure calculation based on approx. length of DNA. Sue Katz

What you maybe can do (and probably want) is to assume a certain average molecular weight of a nucleotide [0.25*M(A+G+C+T] or, if you know the GC content, a weighted formula. Then you may derive sort of assumed nucleotide concentration in your solution.
