Hybaid thermal cycler

[Bill Melchior]

I just saw a demo of the Hybaid thermal cylcer ("OmniGene").  It looked
nice -- I wondered if anyone in the group had (or had heard of) personal
experience with this unit.  It's a little different from most I know of: It
cools (quite rapidly) with a fan; no water or peltier cooling.  It also
takes either 0.5 ml tubes or the company's proprietary (no others!) 96 well
plates.

Any comments would be appreciated.
