I extracted total RNA from plant tubers using Macherey-Nagel RNA extraction kit. Upon Nanodrop examination I got following results;
Nucleic acid concentration: 15.5 ng/uL
A260: 0.39
A280: 0.10
260/280: 4.03
260/230: 0.02
Sample type: RNA
Factor: 40.00
Why is 260/280 ratio so high? What could be possible reason and how can I rectify it?
Thanks
