DNA quantification

[Kevin Urbanic]

I would like to know if anybody has a method of determining [DNA] other 
than using a UV-vis spectrophotometer.  Our departmental spec seems to 
provided extremely inconsistent concentrations when I spec plasmid DNA 
that is at a concentration less than 1ug/ml.  Specifcally, I was 
wondering if anybody has calculated the concentration of each band in a 
1kb DNA ladder?  I thought that could be a useful tool for "eyeing" the 
DNA concentration.
