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

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
