  • Situations in which I (YC) would use a column-based purification kit
    • Cleaning up PCR products after each step in assembly PCR
    • Cleaning up reverse transcription products during SELEX
    • When I'm in an absolute time crunch, which is not often
  • Situations in which I (YC) would use phenol-chloroform extraction & ethanol precipitation
    • Cleaning up and concentrating PCR-amplified inserts for cloning
    • Cleaning up after digestion
  • You could also just do ethanol precipitation without phenol-chloroform extraction if you are simply trying to reduce the volume of a sample (for subsequent gel extraction, for example). I believe some people also just put it in the speed vac for this purpose.
