1. What is the maximum binding capacity of the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit columns?
2. What is the minimum elution volume that can be used with the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit columns?
3. How important is it to pre-heat the elution buffer to 60°C? Would 56°C be OK?
4. Can I get better recovery with the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit if I do a second elution with my eluent from the first elution?
5. Can I use a different elution buffer than the one supplied with the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit (NEB #T3010)?
6. What size gDNA can be purified with the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit?
7. What is the minimal input amount that can be used with the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit?
8. Can I use the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit to clean up gDNA that was extracted with phenol/chloroform?
9. Can I use the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit for gDNA cleanup?
10. How can I assess gDNA integrity and purity?
11. Can I omit the low-speed binding centrifugation step to save time?
12. Can I omit the RNase digestion step from the protocol? 
13. Is Monarch-purified gDNA suitable for long-range PCR?
14. When working with other commercial silica column-based kits, I occasionally see a white precipitate in the eluate. What is this?
15. Is Monarch-purified gDNA compatible with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms like PacBio and nanopore?
16. Why did the silica membrane on my Monarch Spin Columns S2C (NEB #T3017) dislodge during my genomic DNA prep?
17. Can the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit (NEB #T3010) be used to isolate gDNA from drosophila and other insects?
18. Can the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit (NEB #T3010) be used to isolate gDNA from plants?
19. Can the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit (NEB #T3010) be used to isolate gDNA from plasma, serum and urine?
20. Can the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit (NEB #T3010) be used for isolating cfDNA?
21. Can the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit (NEB #T3010) be used with a vacuum manifold?
    
22. 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?
23. I noticed that in the Monarch^® Spin gDNA Extraction Kit (NEB #T3010), the Monarch Spin Columns S2C (NEB #T3017) for gDNA purification are now tinted orange. Does this impact performance?
