I am looking at portable and affordable PCR machine that can be brought anywhere, let's say a sampling site or the field and s ideal for doing small research projects. I am looking at the T-heater slim PCR minicycler from Aas (www.aasinc.co). I am curious if someone else has used this model or a similar model. Do you care to share your experience with this instrument in the field with regard to performance and flexibility? Your input is gold!!!
