Falguni Dhwani Desai

You can use the LMP agarose gel method (Sambrook and Russel, Molecular cloning 2001)

Ajay Saini

Hi Dr. Muhandas

Along with the LMP agarose gel...you can also use 'Agarase' enzyme from NEB to digest the matrix and the extraction of DNA band become more easy..

Doctor Muhandas

Thanks Falguni and Ajay for suggestions
