: built/robust (nothing has broken in 2 years). My only adverse comments are 
: (1) that the combs are fairly thin (approx 1mm) - as one of the combs is 
: spaced equal to a multichannel pipette, it is potentially great for rapid 
: loading but you have to aim your 8 channel pipette perfectly or else... (2) 
: you need to run TBE gels, not TAE ones.
You can run it w/ TAE, but you need a circulation unit (pump the buffer
to the other electrode), but I've never tried.
Also there's the possibility to perform quick-southerns in a 
microtiter centrifuge (think the orig proc. was in Nucl. Ac. res. ?)
But I was REALLY sad that the unit doesn't fit in our centrifuge (a 
Sigma w/ microtiter support) 
(I think they recommend beckman and a few others). So be careful
if you intend doing that - check the sizes before!

Me mostly, too
