Yeah, the only reason I said to use distilled white vinegar is because
I tried a bunch of different vinegars and this type worked the best.
In terms of maximizing 260:280, they all worked relatively well, but
the distilled white also maximized the 260:230 which means there was
less carbohydrate contamination.

Pure acetic acid was the best (slightly higher DNA concentration and
less carbohydrate) but I wouldn't recommend anyone use that without
proper protective gear and ventilation. - preferably a fume hood.
