Yep! it has happened to me also, I was using Pharmacia's band prep and my 
fragments size increased, thought due to be an error since these bands have 
cohesive ends, but the same never happened when using Quiaex II protocol, could 
also be due to the short UV exposure instead of long UV. Pls let me also know if 
you happened to find a solution.
