If it is too diluted precipitate with ethanol in the presence of sodium acetate. Adding Butanol works well. It is not precipitation. Add equal volume of Butanol and Butanol absorb water from your sample. Centrifuge and remove the Butonol Phase and DNA is in the aqueous phase. repeat the same until you get desired concentration.
Protocol from Current protocols
CONCENTRATION OF DNA USING BUTANOL
It is generally inconvenient to handle large volumes or dilute solutions of DNA. Water molecules (but not DNA or solute molecules) can be removed from aqueous solutions by extraction with sec-butanol (2-butanol). This procedure is useful for reducing volumes or concentrating dilute solutions before proceeding with the basic protocol.
1. Add an equal volume of sec-butanol to the sample and mix well by vortexing or by gentle inversion if the DNA is of high molecular weight. Perform extraction in a
polypropylene tube, as butanol will damage polystyrene.
2. Centrifuge 5 min at 1200 × g (2500 rpm), room temperature, or in a microcentrifuge for 10 sec.
3. Remove and discard the upper (sec-butanol) phase.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 above until the desired volume of aqueous solution is obtained.
5. Extract the lower, aqueous phase with 25:24:1 phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol and ethanol precipitate as in steps 1 to 9 of the basic protocol, or remove sec-butanol by two ether extractions as described in the second support protocol.
Addition of too much sec-butanol can result in complete loss of the water phase into the sec-butanol layer. If this happens, add 1 ⁄2 vol water back to the sec-butanol, mix well, and spin. The DNA can be recovered in this new, aqueous phase and can be further concentrated with smaller amounts of sec-butanol.
The salt concentration will increase in direct proportion to the volume decrease. The DNA can be precipitated with ethanol to readjust the buffer conditions.
Vaccum dryer can increase the concentration of your DNA,,, in other way.. if you use 100 micro l elution buffer for extraction sometimes DNA may be diluted.. try to reduce the amount of dilution buffer.. i used 50 micro in such cases..
