Hello!
Is the column for the maxi prep a silica membrane like for other DNA purification kits? If so, then different yields could be explained easily because the silica gel is a natural product of varying quality. But anyway, it should not be possible that special lots lead to zero-yield but lower yields.
Cheers,
Niko
