Monarch kits offer value without compromise

Monarch is your solution for nucleic acid purification, enabling quick and easy purification of high-quality DNA and RNA suitable for a range of downstream applications. Our user-friendly protocols and optimized buffer systems let you recover pure, intact DNA and RNA in minutes. Monarch products allow you more time to focus on the experiments that will drive your research forward.

Our kits enable fast, easy workflows without compromising on quality or value. Monarch kits consistently perform as well as or better than leading suppliers. See our performance data and find out what customers have to say when it comes to DNA cleanup and gel extraction, plasmid purification, genomic DNA purification, and total RNA extraction and purification.

Monarch Kits for DNA Gel Extraction & PCR Cleanup

“In comparison, the yield of DNA I'm getting from the Monarch kit is 5 to 10 times greater than with the Qiagen. Also, the quality of DNA is also better (based on Nanodrop absorbance curve). Finally, the Monarch kit is easier to use.”
– Researcher, Yale University

The Monarch Spin DNA Gel Extraction Kit consistently recovers DNA as well as or better than the leading supplier, and is more concentrated for greater downstream utility

“I have been struggling to isolate enough product from the MinElute PCR cleanup and gel extraction kit for my PCR cloning project to be successful. We tried the Monarch PCR cleanup kit as a last-ditch effort and our ligation reaction was successful on the first try!”
– Assistant Specialist, University of California Irvine

 

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

Monarch Kits for Plasmid Purification

“We have been using Qiagen for a very long time but when compared to the Monarch kit, we were surprised at how much more product we were able to collect. Great kits, easy to use protocols!! A+”
– Researcher, Yale University

Monarch Spin Plasmid Miniprep Kit consistently produces more concentrated plasmid DNA with equivalent or better yield and purity compared to the leading supplier

Monarch Kits for Genomic DNA Purification

“This kit yielded the highest purity DNA I have ever seen from a commercial spin column kit.”
– Stephen, Professor, Lake Superior State University

 

The Monarch Spin gDNA Extraction Kit provides excellent yields with tissues that are problematic for other commercial kits

Monarch Kits for Total RNA Extraction & Purification

Sample Type: Gram Positive Bacteria (compared to: Qiagen RNeasy Mini)

“I've been using the RNeasy kit for some time, but I've been unable to have much luck. It seems geared toward eukaryotes and I've been working with Gram Positive prokaryotes… I tried the NEB [Total] RNA Miniprep Kit and it was much more straightforward. I also got excellent results the first time I used it.”
– Kyle, Postdoctoral Researcher, University of CA, Berkeley

 

The Monarch Spin RNA Isolation Kit (Mini) successfully purifies small RNAs below 200 nucleotides, enabling a more faithful representation of the total RNA pool compared to a leading supplier
