260/280 and 260/230 Ratios - CGIAR
hpc.ilri.cgiar.org260/230 Ratio This ratio is used as a secondary measure of nucleic acid purity. The 260/230 values for “pure” nucleic acid are often higher than the respective 260/280 values. Expected 260/230 values are commonly in the range of 2.0-2.2. If the ratio is appreciably lower than
SPECTROPHOTOMETRY (QUANTIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS
hpc.ilri.cgiar.org•Pure DNA sample gives a 260:280 ratio of ˷1.8 and for pure RNA the ratio is ˷ 2. •A260/230 ratio indicates the presence of organic contaminants, such as (but not limited to): phenol, TRIzol, chaotropic salts and other aromatic compounds. Samples with 260/230 ratios below 1.8 are considered to have a
