Microarray robots

We are planning on purchasing or leasing a robotics workstation
that would be used to make DNA microarrays. We have looked at a number
of companies and are trying to decide between the workstations sold by
Genomics Solutions, Biorobotics, and Packard. We plan to create a core
facility that to make arrays on glass or membrane. I would appreciate
any comments from the group that could help guide our decision.
<I hope the group will forgive this repeated posting but the response
to my first query was quite limited. I am hoping that some ABRF has some
experience with these instruments and is willing to share their thoughts
with us.>
Thanks,
