Silanizing glassware.
Glassware is silanized (siliconized) to prevent adsorption of solute to glass surfaces or to increase its hydrophobicity. This is particularly important with low concentrations of particularly "sticky" solutes such as single-stranded nucleic acids or proteins. This appendix provides a protocol for treating glassware.
