Speed vac for RNA-Seq

I was wondering if concentrating the RNA by using a speed-vac on a low-temperature setting would have any effect on the quality of the DGE. Does anyone here have experience with this?

Hello jahnic.beck!

We believe that this post does not fit the main topic of this site.

Please ask this at StackExchange Biology, SeqAnswers or a suitable subReddit as it is not bioinformatics-related.

For this reason we have closed your question. This allows us to keep the site focused on the topics that the community can help with.

If you disagree please tell us why in a reply below, we'll be happy to talk about it.

Cheers!

Besides that...I would never put my RNA into any machine that requires no lids on the tubes. Better put it over a purification micro column or concentrate with RNA-binding beads. Anything is imho better than speedvac-ing.

As far as i know, If the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) does not drop below 7.0, you should not have any problem.
