Hey, why don't you give it a go and tell us the results?
I would love to know the results because I'm a measly
Honours student and A$1000/year limit applies to me.
It is not very much for mol. biology
and I would like to save money where I can save.
You know that the filter can be re-probed again and again,
so I hope you will go ahead and tell us the results!
