Tried doing digests from Jason's digests of the genes in pUC57 (see below) using columns from three different kits. The results were all similar - very low concentrations for each. Next we are going to try running already purified DNA of a known, high concentration through the columns and measure the concentration that is eluted to determine how much, if any, is sticking to the column
