The problem with freeze-squeeze is the huge elution volume.  When you use
any reasonable amount for a ligation reaction the yields are much lower
than for GeneClean.  Also, you have to use miniscule amounts to avoid
inhibiting enzymatic reactions.  Are my limited experiences with
freeze-squeeze, which is by far the simplest cleanup method possible
incorrect?
