    PCRLinks.com

    A web guide of Polymerase Chain Reaction Technique.

    Phenol extraction of DNA samples

    Phenol extraction is a common technique used to purify a DNA sample. Typically, an equal volume of TE-saturated phenol is added to an aqueous DNA sample in a microcentrifuge tube. The mixture is vigorously vortexed, and then centrifuged to enact phase separation.
