96-well plate DNA extraction kits

Hi Guys,

I am usually loathe to resort to commercial kit methods for DNA
extraction, but working with moulluscs and local

prohibitions on phenol/chloroform, it's maybe time to start.



So far I have been using Qiagen spin column kits very successfully, but
I need to move to a 96-well plate format.



Are there any 96-well plate extraction kits available that can be spun
in Sigma 2-16K or 3K15 centrifuges with 11123 / 11223

rotors and 13223 buckets?

Eg Invitrogen kits can indeed be spun at the relatively slow speeds on
these centrifuges (approx 2250g) - but the brochure

suggests a plate height clearance of 5.75cm, and I have no idea where
that is measured from, the ends of the bucket,

the sides of the bucket?

Any ideas?

These plates are standard SBS format and require a bucket depth of
5.75cm, therefore measure from the base of the bucket, up the side, to
the top brim of the bucket. If you need any further assistance you can

I assume your refering to Invitrogen's PureLink™ 96 Genomic DNA Kit,
PureLink™ 96 Genomic DNA Kit K1821-04 4 × 96 preps. These plates
can also be used with a vacuum manifold.
