Beckman Sequencer

[Dean Lavelle]

Questions for Beckman sequencer users:

Is the Beckman worth considering now that the 3100 from ABI is
available?  A year ago, it seemed that the software was somewhat below
par on the Beckman, has this improved lately?  Finally, what about the
cost per DNA sample using the Beckman chemistry versus the ABI Big Dye
Terminator chemistry, which is cheaper to use?

Much thanks,
