title: Extraction of DNA staining dyes from DNA using hydrophobic ionic liquids.
abstract: The partition of oligonucleotides and DNA staining dyes into a few hydrophobic ionic liquids has been studied, where the oligonucleotides remain in the aqueous phase and all the DNA staining dyes are extracted in the ionic liquid phase, allowing the separation of these two.
