Automated DNA extraction

[Mr. N.J. White]

Is there anyone out there with experience of automaed DNA extractors?

I have several hundred frozen samples (mainly leucocytes in a lithium
acetate/lithium dodecyl sulphate lysis buffer) from which I need to
extract DNA. I am looking at the possibility of using an automated
procedure but would like some opinions of the various systems before
I spend such a huge chunk of grant.

Please mail me at the address below with any suggestions and ideas.

Thanks
