The Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg) offers an efficient method for purification and concentration up to 5 μg of high-quality, double-stranded and single-stranded DNA from enzymatic reactions such as PCR, restriction digestion, ligation, and reverse transcription. This new version features upgraded spin columns precision-engineered to uniquely allow for low elution, in as little as 5 μl, for highly concentrated DNA in downstream applications such as sequencing, restriction digestion, library construction, labeling and other enzymatic manipulations. The kit includes spin columns, collection tubes, buffers, and other reagents in compact and streamlined packaging for silica membrane-based PCR purification and DNA cleanup. Our optimized buffer system allows efficient binding and purification of the DNA, without a need to monitor pH. These kits contain uniquely designed columns and bottles to significantly reduce plastic usage compared to leading suppliers, while maintaining structural integrity for centrifugation, vacuum manifolds and other steps. The kit features Monarch spin columns that are manufactured using state of the art automation machinery for high quality and consistency.

Figure 1: Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg) consistently produces more concentrated DNA, with equivalent or better DNA recovery and purity compared to the leading supplier
Using the Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg), DNA concentrations and recovery are equal to or higher than a leading suppliers' kits. Preps were performed according to recommended protocols and elution volumes using 5 μg of 3 kb linear DNA fragment as an input. Concentrations of DNA were measured using a Trinean DropSense 16 and percent recovery calculations are based on the eluted DNA concentration and elution volume used.
Figure 2: DNA purified using Monarch® Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg) are high-quality and suitable for downstream applications
Use of the Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit effectively cleans up DNA suitable for downstream applications, performing as well as a leading supplier’s kits.
A. TBE PAGE data demonstrating primer removal. A 2 kb fragment was spiked with two oligonucleotides (16-mer, 25-mer) to a final concentration of 1 μM. The mixture was purified as per recommended protocols. Equivalent fractions of the original mixture and the eluted DNA were resolved in a 20% TBE polyacrylamide gel at 100V for 1 hour and stained with SYBR Gold. M = Low Molecular Weight DNA Ladder (NEB #N3233).
B. Agarose gel data demonstrating downstream application by restriction digestion with a salt-sensitive restriction enzyme. Three replicates of purified DNA and subsequent restriction enzyme digest were performed. 4 μg of a 3 kb DNA fragment was purified and 1 μg was digested with DraIII-HF (NEB #R3510). Equivalent fractions of the input DNA and digestion reaction were resolved in a 1.2% TBE agarose gel.
Figure 3: Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg) effectively cleans up oligonucleotide DNA using the oligonucleotide cleanup protocol.
Synthesized ssDNA (≥ 16 nt) and dsDNA (≥12 bp) oligonucleotides can be effectively purified and recovered using Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg). The provided oligonucleotide cleanup protocol was followed using 1 μg of oligonucleotides of varying lengths (8–25 nt/bp) as an input. DNA was eluted in 20 μl of Monarch Buffer EY. Concentrations of DNA were measured using a Trinean DropSense 16 and percent recovery calculations are based on the eluted DNA concentration and elution volume used. The minimum sized ss- and ds- oligonucleotides that can be used are marked with a star (*).

NEB® Monarch’s unique column design and membrane assembly allows high-quality DNA purification with low-elution volume, for highly-concentrated DNA for downstream applications. The column is designed and made with significantly less plastic for reduced environmental impact.
Figure 5: Overview of the Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg) workflow
The Monarch Spin PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 μg) uses the bind/wash/elute method and a unique spin column.
This product is related to the following categories:
High Performance: Achieve high yields (up to 5 μg) and high purity in the purification, cleanup, and concentration of DNA, with the capability to remove short primers, detergents, and other low-molecular-weight reaction components (e.g., nucleotides, DMSO, betaine).
High Concentration: Elute in very small volumes, in as little as 5 μl for elution, allowing for highly concentrated DNA.
Powerful Flexibility – Purify small DNA fragments, including oligonucleotides, with this single kit, using the modified protocol provided.
Time Savings: Short protocol of only 5 minutes to complete the workflow of bind, wash, and elution steps, including minimal incubation and spin time.
Unique Design: Spin column features a unique design that enables elution in low volumes and minimizes buffer retention and contaminant carryover.
Optimized: Buffer system is optimized, without the need to adjust pH.
Application Compatibility: Purified DNA is ready for downstream molecular applications, such as restriction digests, DNA sequencing, ligation, amplification, and other enzymatic reactions.
