About the 75% ethanol used in RNA extraction with Trizol, is 75% the volume precentage or weight percentage?

05 May 2017 0 8K Report

As what I describe in the question, I'm confused by this 75% ethanol. As I can see, in most of the protocol online, only 75% ethanol is mentioned, without stating if it's volume percentage or weight percentage.
