FAQ: Can the Monarch RNA Cleanup Kits be used for RNA extraction?

Yes. Although originally developed for RNA cleanup applications, these kits can also be used for RNA extraction from cells, saliva, and swab samples. When used for viral extraction, the Monarch DNA/RNA Protection Reagent (sold separately, NEB #T2011) must be used for viral inactivation. Visit our online protocols for more information:
