Sv: Real-time from Corbett-Research

[Y.F.LEUNG]

Hi Dr. Clark,

Do you mean that the smartcycler is not very suitable for higher throughput?
Is there any advantage over our similar product? I read from smartcycler
homepage that "Purchase of this instrument does not convey any right to
practice the 5´ nuclease assay or any of the other real-time methods covered
by patents owned by Roche or PE." How does this limitation affect the
experiment?

Yours,
