FAQ: Can the Monarch® Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg) (NEB #T1130) be used to purify RNA?

RNA will bind to the Monarch Spin Column S1A, but the buffers and protocol have not been optimized to ensure reliable, RNase-free recovery. Therefore, we do not recommend using this kit to purify RNA. NEB offers 3 kits designed specifically for the cleanup and concentration of RNA samples (NEB #T2030, #T2040, #T2050).
