Question Regarding Ethanol Requirement for Favorgen RNA Extraction Kit?

16 August 2025 0 7K Report

I plan to use the Favorgen RNA extraction kit, which specifies RNase-free ethanol. Since this is not available in my lab, can I use regular laboratory ethanol instead? Would this compromise RNA yield or integrity?
