After elution, the samples were EtOH precipitated @ -20C for 30mins, pelleted 30mins 16,000g for 30mins, 4C. Supe removed, RNA washed with 1mL 70% EtOH and spun 15mins 16,000g, 4C. Supe removed. Resusupended in 15uL of 0.1% DEPC-H2O and spec'd. Results: No measurable amount of RNA in either sample. Samples were stored @ -80C. ![](https://eagle.fish.washington.edu/Arabidopsis/RNA%20Spec%20Readings/20090916%20mRNA%20BB%20DH%20ribominus_polyA.jpg)
