1. What is the maximum binding capacity of the column for RNA Cleanup Column provided with the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit?
2. What is the smallest volume of nuclease-free water that can be used for elution with the Monarch Spin Columns S1A, S2A, S2B for RNA Cleanup?
3. Can I get better recovery with the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits if I do a second elution with my eluent from the first elution?
4. What factors affect my (A260/A230) when using the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits?
5. What size RNA can be purified with the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit?
6. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit to cleanup up my DNase I-treated RNA?
7. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits to purify RNA from agarose gels?
8. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits to cleanup RNA after a TRIzol®/chloroform extraction?
9. Can I use the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits to cleanup my in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction?
10. Is the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kit (NEB #T2040) compatible with the EnGen sgRNA Synthesis Kit, S. pyogenes?
11. Are the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits (NEB # T2030, #T2040, #T2050) compatible with Luna RT-qPCR reagents?
12. Are the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits (NEB #T2030, #T2040, #T2050) compatible with NEBNext reagents for RNA library prep?
13. How can I assess RNA integrity and purity?
14. Are the columns in the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits the same as those in the Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (NEB #T2010)?
15. Can I purchase Monarch buffers and columns separately?
16. Can I do an on column DNase I treatment with the columns for RNA Cleanup?
17. Can the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits (NEB #T2030, #T2040, #T2050) also be used to purify DNA?
18. I would like to clean up  ~150 µg of RNA. Would it be better to use multiple 50 µg columns (NEB #T2040/#T2047) or a single 500 µg column (NEB #T2050/#T2057)?
19. Can the Monarch Spin RNA Cleanup Kits be used for RNA extraction?
20. 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?
