oligo synthesizer&thermocycler

[jurgenson at cobra.uni.edu]

I am soliciting advice on two items of instrumentation.  1. an oligonucleotide
synthesizer.  2. thermal cycler.  I am planning to develop an approach to
teaching molecular biology using pcr as a primary tool for study of molecular
biolog.  If you can give me information on specs and ease of opperation as well
as approximate price I would appreciate the information.  I will post a summary
for those who are interested.
