N3 is probably lower than 3M KOac as I know one can get away with a lot 
less.  Might be as low as 300 mM. PE will be (probably) Tris-buffered 
KOAc (agh, don't quite me on that (-: - the concentration is reasonably 
low, anyway, about 50 mM final ISTR).

PB is about 4M GnHCL/50% isopropanol (sniff it).  This is all published 
- but might take some finding.

We usually run out of columns first . . . .  well, the mini-prep spin 
columns anyway, we don't use the maxi/midi prep gear.
