Product Information

Description

The Monarch Spin Columns S2A and Tubes can be used to purify up to 50 µg of nucleic acid from enzymatic reactions. The columns are designed without the use of a retaining ring, helping to ensure no buffer retention and no carryover of contaminants. Nucleic acid can be eluted in as little as 20 μl and is ready for use in a variety of downstream applications including RT-PCR, RNA Library Prep for NGS and transfection.

Monarch columns for RNA Cleanup are also available for 10 µg (NEB #T2037) and 500 µg (NEB #T2057) binding capacities.

FAQs

  1. What is the maximum binding capacity of the column for RNA Cleanup Column provided with the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit?
  2. What is the smallest volume of nuclease-free water that can be used for elution with the Monarch Spin Columns S1A, S2A, S2B for RNA Cleanup?
  3. Can I get better recovery with the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits if I do a second elution with my eluent from the first elution?
  4. What factors affect my (A260/A230) when using the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits?
  5. What size RNA can be purified with the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit?
  6. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit to cleanup up my DNase I-treated RNA?
  7. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits to purify RNA from agarose gels?
  8. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits to cleanup RNA after a TRIzol®/chloroform extraction?
  9. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits to cleanup my in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction?
  10. Is the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit (NEB #T2040) compatible with the EnGen sgRNA Synthesis Kit, S. pyogenes?
  11. Are the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits compatible with Luna RT-qPCR reagents?
  12. Are the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits compatible with NEBNext reagents for RNA library prep?
  13. How can I assess RNA integrity and purity?
  14. Are the columns in the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits the same as those in the Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (NEB #T2010)?
  15. Can I purchase Monarch® buffers and columns separately?
  16. Can I do an on column DNase I treatment with the columns for RNA Cleanup?
