Hi
What are prismStrips and the prismpette? Please let me know the
supplier's contact info.
Are they any different than the SequaPipette and SequaStrip Tips
(8 tip strips, 0.5-5.0 ul capacity) sold by EmbiTec (3510 Dunhill St., San
Diego, 800-255-1777 or 619-453-8655). I saw these demonstrated at the San
Diego ABRF meeting. However, they seemed to be pretty expensive ($525 US
for the pipette and $160 US for a pack of 48 strips).
How does the cost of the prismStrips compare?
