Our testing shows that you can push about 10% more water if you use the bar clamp than our hands. Even if we assume that all that extra pushing at higher pressure is not rupturing cells and pushing DNA through the filter, an extra 10% more DNA will have little effect on results. We recommend using the bar clamp if your hands start to hurt or have a lot of samples to take.
Is it better to use the bar clamp than my hand to push water through the filter? Print
