I was having trouble getting a nice amount of DNA using the protocol for cheek cells. I had used the Carolina kit in the past, and thought that had worked better, but didn't want to spend the money. Here's a ppt with the biochemistry involved and a comparison of results using different materials, for teachers: https://www.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/.../Biochemistry%20workshop%20presentation.pdf
