Hi Everyone,

You might want to check out the Cartagen DNA Extraction Kit for Plants. It combines a CTAB method with a column clean up step. They also have some kits for going straight to PCR that have been used on oak leaves. Their product info is at www.cartgen.com.

PCR products?
thanks a lot for your help,
