The protocols to extract genomic DNA from whole blood

[paul lacy]

You may want to repeat the RBC lysis step to get a cleaner prep.  I had
some Elk samples that I used with the Puregene kit and this helped quit a
bit.  You might also include Prot. K with the Cell lysis buffer step.

Re: the DNAzol kit... what's the maximum number of cells it will handle?
You might be overloading the system.
