Hello Bob,
There are a number of 96-well tray based protocols out there which you may
find useful. The one I use here at RPCI BACPAC Resources Center is our
modified TIGR protocol, utilizing Qiagen's 96 placeTurboFilter or QiaFilter.
This method works well for isolating large insert BAC's for direct
sequencing. It can be found on our procedures web page: "Preparation of DNA
Template For Direct Sequencing of Large Insert PAC and BAC Plasmids".

Other websites of interest would be at centers doing large scale or genome
sequencing projects. You might also check Millipore's 96-well Multiscreen
protocol for DNA isolation.

Good Hunting!
