Enhancement of soil DNA extraction by the use of a hand held mixer
The efficiency of soil DNA extraction using a bead beater homogenizer (Biospec Products - Germany) was compared to that obtained with a hand held mixer (Moulinex - Brazil). The hand held mixer costs 100 times less and extracted seven times more crude DNA than the bead beater.
