Has anyone tried out this seemingly revolutionary piece of technology before? They're advertising it as "gel-free, blot-free and hands-free".

Price-wise, I'm waiting for a quote but what do you all think?

It seems to be equivalent to running DNA on a normal sequencer, nothing too fancy, but I bet it won't be cheap!

not only will it not be cheap to purchase but they don't tell you whether the capillaries are reusable (and how many times) so the per run costs may be high, as well.

genius does what it must
