I am planning to construct libraries for RNAseq from ribosomal RNA depleted plant RNA. The total RNA samples (145ng/ul) were treated with RiboZero kits (illumina) and purified. After the RiboZero treatment, i quantified the RNA samples on Nanodrop, and noticed that the concentration of sample decreased to 53.7 (this was expected), however the 260/280 ratios was 1.78 (previously 1.8) and 260/230 ratios was 0.97( previously 1.7). I am concerned that these ratios would affect the downstream processes. Any ideas why these ratios could have changed? or suggestions on how I can improve these ratios? Any help would be appreciated
PS: RNA sample volume is 8 ul and purification method was ethanol/sodium acetate incubation.
Thank you
