automated mini-preps

[do14]

Hi,
Has any one tried or heard about the "Mini-Prep 24 (tm)" automated plasmid
DNA purification machine from MacConnell Research ???

The literature promises 1-4 ug of plasmid from 0.9 ml starting culture in
less than 1 hour (up to 24 preps simultaneously) for around 50 cents per
prep !

Comments (good and bad) would be most welcome. Please Email me direct as I
don't regularly read this group.

Thanks
DAVE
