About Insert:Vector Ratio Calculator — promoter swap
Work out the insert mass for promoter swap at your chosen molar ratio. insert ng = ratio × (insert bp / vector bp) × vector ng. The calculation uses insert ng = ratio × (insert bp/vector bp) × vector ng. The stakes: Ligation and assembly efficiency hinge on the molar ratio of insert to vector — not the mass ratio. Because long fragments contain fewer moles per ng, a 'balanced' mass mix can be wildly off in moles. promoter swap: optimise the molar ratio for efficient assembly. Watch out for: too little or too much insert; stale ligase or ATP; using a mass ratio instead of a molar ratio. Because the calculation happens entirely client-side, you can use it offline and with confidential data, then cite the stable URL in your methods or teaching notes.

Frequently asked questions
Any tips specific to this calculation?+
promoter swap: optimise the molar ratio for efficient assembly. Also watch out for: too little or too much insert and ignoring fragment length when converting ng↔pmol.
Is this insert:vector ratio calculator — promoter swap free to use?+
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — there are no usage limits.
What formula does it use?+
It uses insert ng = ratio × (insert bp/vector bp) × vector ng The full worked example is shown beneath the result so you can verify each step.
What are the most common mistakes here?+
In molecular cloning, watch for: using a mass ratio instead of a molar ratio; ignoring fragment length when converting ng↔pmol; too little or too much insert; stale ligase or ATP. This tool shows the working so you can catch these before they cost an experiment.
