Extras
- Some aditional stuff.
Home made quick saliva DNA extraction protocol:
- Rinse the mouth 5 times with clean water, the last rinse must be deposited in a plastic glass
- Prepare a solution with soap and water in a beaker
- Add the soap solution to the last rinse
- Add frozen (0°C) etanol to the last rinse
- Observe how a DNA thread forms, take it and place it in an eppendorf tube.
