Phage based vectors are suitable for cloning larger fragments of DNA. Isopycnic CsCl gradient centrifugation is used to purify DNA molecules. The DNA sample is mixed with caesium chloride, CsCl, which forms a self-generating uniform density gradient during the centrifugation process. DNA molecules will sediment only to the position in the centrifuge tube at which the gradient density is equal to its own density, and they will remain there to form a band. After the DNA band has formed, it is removed from the centrifuge tube and the CsCl removed by precipitating the DNA with ________.
