The Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit is a comprehensive solution for sample preservation, cell lysis, gDNA removal, and purification of total RNA from a wide variety of biological samples, including cultured cells, blood, and mammalian tissues. Additionally, tough-to-lyse samples, such as bacteria, yeast, and plant, can be processed with additional steps that enhance lysis. Cleanup of enzymatic reactions or purification of RNA from TRIzol® -extracted samples is also possible using this kit. Purified RNA has high quality metrics, including A260/280 and A260/230 ratios >1.8, high RIN scores, and minimal residual gDNA. Captured RNA ranges in size from full-length rRNAs down to intact miRNAs. Additionally, differential binding conditions allow selective capture or exclusion of the sub-200 nucleotide RNA pool that includes miRNA, 5S rRNA, and tRNA. Purified RNA is suitable for downstream applications, such as RT-qPCR, cDNA synthesis, RNA-seq, Northern blot analysis, etc.

Additional Data Figures:
Figure 1.Monarch-purified RNA is high-quality and compatible with a wide variety of downstream applicationsTotal RNA from a broad array of sample types was purified using the Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (NEB #T2010). Aliquots were run on an Agilent® Bioanalyzer® 2100 using the Nano or Pico 6000 RNA chip (S. cerevisiae RNA was run using a plant Nano assay). RIN values and O.D. ratios confirm the overall integrity and purity of the RNA. To demonstrate compatibility with downstream applications, samples were subsequently used for RT-PCR (A) using Protoscript® II Reverse Transcriptase (NEB #M0368)/LongAmp® Taq DNA Polymerase (NEB #M0323), NGS library prep (B) using NEBNext® Ultra™ II RNA Library Prep Kit (NEB #E7760) and RT-qPCR (C) using Luna qPCR Reagents (NEB #E3005).
Figure 2.The Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit can generate high quality RNA from as few as 100 HeLa cellsTotal RNA was isolated using the Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (NEB #T2010) from varying amounts of HeLa cells over 5 orders of magnitude and eluted in 100 µl of nuclease-free water. Samples were analyzed on a Bioanalyzer Pico chip, with RIN values and total yields shown below the lanes (A). Electropherograms are included as a reference (B).
Figure 3.The Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit successfully purifies small RNAs below 200 nucleotides,enabling a more faithful representation of the total RNA poolRNA preps were performed on HEK293 cells, mouse heart, rat brain, or rat spleen using the Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (NEB #T2010) and the RNeasy Mini Kit from Qiagen. Equivalent amounts were resolved on a Bioanalyzer 2100 using the Small RNA chip. Monarch-purified RNA contains significantly more RNA in the sub-200 nucleotide pool.
