Effects of low A₂₆₀/A₂₃₀ ratios in RNA preparations on downstream applications

In this study, we not only show that the A₂₆₀/A₂₃₀ ratio of an RNA sample is strongly reduced when guanidine thiocyanate is present even at submillimolar concentrations, but also that concentrations of guanidine thiocyanate of up to 100 mM in an RNA sample do not compromise the reliability of real-time RT-PCR.
