Comments
Very reasonable prices and a rather nice website design that provides all the needed information with no fluff. No explanation is given of their micro fluidics technology, but if you wish to achieve sub-microliter scale reactions without changing your existing microliter scale equipment, then please look at our dLUTE SEQ BigDye dilution reagent.
