Cyclone Phosphoimager systems (radioactive work only)

[WSchick at aol.com]

Sure, 
If you don't need the huge sequencing gel size of the MD,  the Cyclone from 
Canberra Packard in Mississauga is a personal size and budget priced high 
resolution phosphorimager.  It just does radioactives, so you can separate 
your rad work from your chemiluminescence--Canberra sells a combination 
system if you want that.  Because of its high resolution, you can use the 
Novex precast sequencing gels and get a couple of hundred basepair separation 
faster than you can on MD or FX.

They'll demo it, I'm sure.  For details, I think the web site is 
www.packardinstrument.com--use google.com to search for cyclone imager if 
this address doesn't work.
