  1. After digestion with restriction enzymes (ex. Normally a 40 µL digestion)
  2. Add 1/10 the digestion volume of 3M NaOAc pH 5.2 (ex. 4 µL of NaOAc)
  3. Add 2X the reaction volume of ethanol (ex. 88 µL of ethanol)
  4. Vortex and put in -80°C freezer for 15 minutes
  5. Centrifuge for 15 minutes (Place the tube hinge out in the microcentrifuge to know where the pellet is.
