FAQ: I notice that I'm applying force to fit the column into a collection tube. Should I be doing this? What collection tubes are compatible with columns?

Matching collection tubes are provided in all Monarch® kits for the spin columns. If you use collection tubes outside of a given kit, please use the Monarch® Spin Collection Tubes (NEB #T2118). Do not force any columns into non-recommended collection tubes that have a very tight fit to avoid damaging the column.
