I dug out info I got from them at a conference awhile back:

Lambda Terminase (clconed), product number 2810, 200 units, $260 USF
supplied with Basal buffer

They also carry cosmid mapping kit (cloned Lambda Terminase, ON-L and ON-R
oligo's for probing COS ends after Southern, T4 PNK, size markers) .. 
Cat. no. 6080, 50 reactions, $320 USF

They also carry VERY NICE ligation kit (SO efficient and FAST). Cat. no.
6021, 50 rx'ns, $160 USF

They also carry some rare cutting R.E.'s such as Sse 83871 (CC^TGCAGG), an
8 base recognition site cutter, with 4 base 3' overhang.

... and they also carry broad range of protein characterization/purification
supplies/biochemicals/enzymes, in addition to increasing range of nucleic acid
research lab supplies/biochemicals, etc.

I'm in no way, haven't been, nor would ever want to be affiliated with any
partial commercial enterprise.
