Subject: [CRUST-L:9947] Mercuric chloride and sequencing

Hi all,
I have come across some amphipod samples that were captured in traps using mercuric chloride.
I am curious to know if this chemical can affect molecular sequencing - ie COI or 18S?
Does it completely destroy the amounts, or do you get traces, or no damage?

Thanks in advance

Rachael Peart
