It is claimed that primers do not precipitate well when ethanol
precipitated from 2.5M ammonium acetate. I use this method routinely
with satisfactory, but not perfect results:
Add 1/3 volume of 10M ammonium acetate, mix, then precipitate with 1.6
volumes of ethanol. I found this in a Biotechniques article four or five
years ago.
Good luck,
Jim Owens
