A while back, we found that we could get very small oligos to precipitate
if we simply put them in the -20C freezer for a couple of hours (of course,
after ethanol precipitation).  I'm not sure this is the answer to your problem, but perhaps it is worth consideration or a try.

Best regards,

Shaun
