I got the citation for using silicone grease in phenol extractions:

Mukhopadhyay, T. and J.A. Roth "Silicone lubricant enhances recovery of
nucleic acids after phenol-chloroform extraction" Nucleic Acids Research.
21(3):781-182. 1993. 







The silicone grease I use is Beckman cat. no.  335148

I hope this helps.
