FAQ: I see some silica residue in my Monarch column. Is this a problem?

No, this is not an issue. The presence of some silica residue or particles in the nucleic acid purification column does not impact nucleic acid binding or purity. Our columns are designed to retain silica fibers, helping ensure they do not end up in the final eluate.
