| Hi all, I need to cleanup my DNA constructs to be used for Drosophila fly embryo injections. I found out that I need to phenol-chloroform cleanup the DNA after maxi/mini preps because the DNA columns introduce a substance which interferes with fly embryo development. My inital DNA that I have was maxi-preped and is at around 300ng/ul. With 60/80 of 1.8. so its not that bad... but what do you guys think? |

| The injection company we use asks for midi-maxi prep quality DNA -- we usually send them Qiagen Midiprep kit-prepared DNA and rarely have a problem. That said, a phenol-chloroform extraction can't hurt. |
