magic/voodod/wizard promega preps: alternative

[suter at VAX.MPIZ-KOELN.MPG.d400.de]

dear frustrated voodoo scientists,

after reading about so much problems with promega.... diagen
produces also a plasmid kit, named (for unknown reasons) qiagen.
perhaps an alternative ? i have used it for three years now, it
is fast & good. it may be more expensive than the promega stuff,
but the columns can be used more than once (up to four times, check
the catalog for price differences, if any). they apparently also
produce a spin column system, which i didn't use myself yet

no connection to this company, just like their product.
