It looks like either you are using too much rnase and protein is co precipitating with the dna or your rnase buffer contains salts like SDS which are precipitating

Hi Paul, thanks for the information, because of the higher absorbance at 230 I am also worried it may be salt co precipitating, do you have any insight on how wash these samples or are they irreparable? I have a back up sample of each that I can re-extract from if need be.

RNA contamination can be removed by adding 2 microlitre of RNase A (10 mg/ml, Fermentas) to 20 microlitre of DNA dissolved in TE buffer (Tris–EDTA, pH = 8.0) and incubate for 3–4 h at 37 C.

I agree that and increased 230 is usually due to salts and has a bad effect on the ratios. I think that ethanol is better than isopropanol because ethanol tends to preciptate fewer salts so all I can suggest is to check the rnase buffer for SDS and if it contains sds then do not add the buffer just run the rnase as Rohit Kumar suggests. Also check your ethanol volumes very carefully to avoid using too much ethanol. So If your dna volume is very small it may be more accurate to increase the dna volume so that adding the alcohol is very accurate...eg 5ul dna plus 10ul ethanol is prone to pipetting error but 50ul plus 100ul the accuracy of the pipetting should not be an issue. If the amounts of dna are very small then you may want to add a coprecipitant like glycogen or linear acrylamide to increase the precipitation yield of the dna.

It may be worth using your pipettes to weigh a few volumes of water to check that the pipette used for measuring the dna volume is not reading low and the pipette used to add the ethanol is not reading high

Also when doing the 70%ethanol washes do not forget to spin the samples to make sure that all of the salts trapped at the top of the tube or in the tube lid are spun down and diluted
