Jan,
To answer your question about Half Term, this is a company called Genpak
DNA. They are in the UK, but have an office in the US also. Here's the
info...www.genpakdna.com, e-mail: info@genpakdna.com and telephone numbers:
UK/Europe and Asia: +44 1273 704470 USA: 800-385-9248.
They were at the GSAC meeting and are willing to send out samples for people
to try, so I will be trying this as soon as I get it.
Hope this helps!
