Column Purification vs. Ethanol Precipitation[edit]
Ethanol Precipitation (continued from 5/6/2013)[edit]
5. Centrifuged 30 min at 10000 rpm at 4C 6. Removed supernatant and added 750 uL chilled EtOH 7. Centrifuged 15 min at 10000 rpm at 4C 8. Removed supernatant and dried in hood 9. Resuspended in 10 uL nf H20

Discussion[edit]
Looks like the column purification is better than Ethanol precipitation once we get this low. As such, I'm going to start my next probe set with more DNA and then when I get to the lambda digestion I'll purify with the column. I also think that the amount of starting material for the ethanol precipitation affects the yield. I think that starting with more DNA will give a higher % yield, because some DNA will always be left in solution. This would be confirmed if the gel quantification results in less than 1/2 yields in the 1uL samples compared with the 2.
