I'm getting a significant high MW peak on a nano RNA chip with total RNA. Any thoughts on what this might be caused by? It is present in all the total RNA samples I loaded on this chip.

Possibly genomic DNA. Have you digested your DNA and if so with what?
Some good info here:

Did it help? You don't see this peak anymore?
I also have problem with this peak (though it is a bit smaller in my case). I am always denaturing my RNA prior to the run but maybe 2 min is not enough?
I think it is not DNA as second DNase treatment did not help and qPCR (+RT vs -RT, housekeeping gene) shows that the RNA is free of DNA (no amplification after 40 cycles). I also tried spiking in a small amount of gDNA and it never resulted in such electropherogram.
Then again I have seen this peak in many publications and examples of "good RNA".

What can that be?
I am very puzzled.Attached Files

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
