Product Information

Description

The Monarch gDNA Purification Columns are a component of the Monarch Genomic DNA Purification Kit (NEB #T3010) and can be used to purify up to 30 µg of DNA from a wide variety of biological samples. The columns are designed without the use of a retaining ring, ensuring no buffer retention and no carryover of contaminants. DNA can be eluted in as little as 35 μl for and is ready for use in a variety of downstream applications including RT-PCR, RNA Library Prep for NGS, and transfection. Monarch columns use less plastic than conventional columns, reducing their environmental footprint without compromising performance. They are supplied in quantities of 100, along with 200 Monarch Collection Tubes II (NEB #T2018).
