Understanding What Is the 260/230 Ratio for PCR?

The quality of a nucleic acid sample, reflected by its 260/230 ratio, is a critical determinant of successful Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). An ideal ratio, typically between 2.0 and 2.2, indicates high purity, while a low ratio suggests contamination that can severely inhibit the PCR process.
