FAQ: Can I use the Monarch RNA Cleanup Kit to cleanup up my DNase I-treated RNA?

Yes, the Monarch RNA Cleanup Kits will remove residual DNase I (NEB #M0303) activity from RNA samples. On-column treatment with DNase I can often result in residual DNase I activity, therefore, we do not recommend on-column DNase I treatment with the Monarch RNA Cleanup Kit, but rather in-solution DNase I treatment prior to RNA cleanup.
