In my new lab, RNA estimation is carrying out using 96 well plate. Simply add 99 ul of DEPC-H20 and 1 ul RNA sample. So, after reading at 260, the RNA is estimated as ug/ul=OD at 260 nm*40*dilution/1000
My questions are:
1. how much accuracy we get when we use 96 well plate (polysterine or else but not quartze cuvette)?
2. the pathlength 1 cm is required for 40, right? Im not sure 100 ul volume is standard for that??
Best,
Thapa

What instrument do you use to measure the RNA concentration? Nanodrop or what?

Simply a Platereader (SpectraMax, Molecular Devices) and in 96 well plate.
