Next day service is not out of line for on campus users. We accomplished
this for many years at Iowa State. It makes sense to run a 2nd or even a
3rd shift, operating round the clock to make best use of your instruments.
Of course with the 3100 or 3700 you can set them and forget them and they
work through the night. If you have a 3100 that can only do 96 samples in
24 hours you have to have a big investment in equipment to equal the output
of a 377 that can run 4 or 5 gels a day at the 4x speed. It may not be the
best use of huge amounts of money to have it tied up in instruments which
become obsolete if one must always have the absolute latest model equipment.
