Quick Tips - Why is it important to melt the agarose prior to using the Monarch® DNA Gel Extraction Kit?

This video explains why it is so important to completely melt your agarose prior to using the Monarch® DNA Gel Extraction Kit.

Script

Make sure that the agarose is completely melted before loading the sample onto the column.  Undissolved agarose still containing DNA will result in lower yields and may also clog the column.
