A new version of this kit is now available, featuring upgraded spin columns. Migrate to the new Monarch Spin Plasmid Miniprep Kit (NEB #T1110).
The Monarch Plasmid Miniprep Kit is a rapid and reliable method for the purification of up to 20 μg of high quality plasmid DNA.
Check out our Technical Note containing comprehensive insights into measuring and analyzing nucleic acids.
The Monarch Plasmid Miniprep Kit is a rapid and reliable method for the purification of high quality plasmid DNA. This method employs standard cell resuspension, alkaline lysis, and neutralization steps, with the additional benefit of color indicators at certain steps to easily monitor completion. Unique wash buffers ensure salts, proteins, RNA and other cellular components are removed, allowing low-volume elution of concentrated, highly pure DNA. Protocols are fast and user friendly, saving you valuable time. Elution in as little as 30 μl provides concentrated DNA for use in downstream applications, such as restriction digests, DNA sequencing, PCR and other enzymatic manipulations. Designed with sustainability in mind, Monarch kits use significantly less plastic and responsibly-sourced, recyclable packaging.
