: I've prepared phage DNA from plate lysates by PEG-precipitation 
: followed by twice banding on CsCl gradients.

: Also by PEG precipitation without banding
: but with SDS/proteinase K followed by 
: phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol and 
: ETOH.

Rather than a kit......we've have very good results with a SDS/PEG
method c.f., Lockett.  1990.  Analytical Biochem.  185:230.  I can
send a protocol if you'd like.
