How much 6X Gel dye should you add to make the final solutio

How much 6X Gel dye should you add to make the final solution 1X?

You have 2 ul of DNA, 8 ul of dH20 (total volume of solution is 10 ul)

Solution

we have to make 1X dye from 6X. i.e, 1 micro litre from 6X dye solution to 6 microlitre water or solution. therefore, for 10 microlitre solution, that would be 10 x 1 diviided by 6 (cross-multiplication). that gives 1.6 microlitre of dye solution in 10 microlitre solution.
