Optimizing DNA extraction methods

I’ve been experimenting with different DNA extraction techniques in our lab, particularly focusing on using silica gel membranes versus traditional phenol-chloroform methods. The silica membranes seem to improve yield and purity for certain samples, but I’m curious if others have noticed similar results or prefer a different approach. What tools or kits are you finding most effective in your workflows?
