Scene just now in the lab: Your humble correspondent setting up an RT-PCR experiment. The conversation went something like this,
Black Queen: Are you going to use the new block ?
BK: No. I have a programme on the Eppendorf.
BQ: But it's intuitive!
BK: You mean you can give your samples to a grad student and let them get on with it?
BQ: <That Look>

What on earth is that mutant thing?
And I've been telling everyone to buy Tetrads, 'cos there aren't any other multi-block machines around (yes yes, ABI dual 9700 Vipers or whatever they're called notwithstanding).

It's a Biometra T3000. German lass new to our lab apparently very happy because they had dozens of the things back in the Fatherland.

You wanted to talk to me about astrobiology? Did I blog it, or did you read my mind that I'm reading about it now and am considering it as a field for my postdoc? Talk away!

Aha! I wasn't hallucinating... it's *not* a multi-block 96-well machine (48 positions).
Still funny lookin', though.
