Nice to hear. Good luck!

Hi Mohammed, when I feel lazy and don't want to purify gDNA for PCR, I just take some cells, boil them with water for 10min, spin down the cells pellet and take 1ul of supernatant for PCR. Normally I use 20ul of water. Hope it is useful :)

Karen A. Darbinyan

Hello, you can use benzyl chloride method for DNA extraction which really easy cheap and reliable method.

See attached paper for more info.

Good luck!

Mohammed I. Khan

Thank you so much for your help. I tried boiling cells after scratch. Unfortunately, it did not work. Perhaps too little or no cells or too many cells. I got positive results after Quick DNA extract kit. Seems good to use for future.
