FAQ: I noticed that in the Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (NEB #T2010), the Monarch gDNA Removal Columns (NEB #T2017) are now tinted orange. Does this impact performance?

The Monarch gDNA Removal Columns are now tinted orange to help distinguish from other columns in the kit. The tinted color does not impact performance. Follow the recommended usage guidelines, including maximum input guidelines in the manual. Store the tinted columns protected from light to avoid fading of the tint over time. There may be natural variations in the tinting across the columns.
