Can I move samples from Ethanol to RNA later? If yes, how?

I have some samples collected in EtOH instead of RNA-later. Samples are at -20 degrees. The purpose of these samples is to perform some RNAseq. Will it be possible? Should I move them to RNA-later? If yes, what protocol should I follow?

Lata Israni Shukla

Yes, give it a hard spin followed by air drying and then add desired amount of the RNAlater.
