Yes. Double-stranded ring-shaped DNA can be measured on the BioPhotometer using the “dsDNA” method, and single-stranded ring-shaped DNA with the “ssDNA” method.

For my DNA concentration determination (A260) the BioPhotometer shows a negative value at 230 nm and as a result no ratio A260/A230. What causes the negative A230 value?
