BM non-radioactive probe labels?

[Robert J. Toonen]

Has anyone compared the chemo-fluorescent labelling and detection 
protocol from BM to P32?  We're thinking about going to the 
non-radioactive method, but are hesitant about spending the money if the 
method does not work as well.  Over the long haul is the BM method 
cheaper than it seems - the half life of P32 makes it expensive if you 
only do a couple of blots a year; if the BM reagents last forever, it 
would be cheaper for us in in the long run...  Any experience or 
opinions on this would be helpful.
	Thanks in advance.
