I am wondering if somebody has tried to immobalize oligo d(T) on a
stick, for example paper stick, that we can simply dip this stick into 
the solution containing poly A+ RNA and transfer the stick to a washing 
well several times and finally release the bound poly A+ RNA in water. 
The way we may eliminate the need of either a centrifuge or a magnetic 
stand.

Amersham has paper displaying poly(U), not oligo(dT).  It works better
than oligo(dT).
