They've been my primary supplier for detection kits and ancillaries since 2003. I'm probably going to check them out for my DAB needs due to Dako DAB+ going from $170 to $400 for 110 mL.

At first I wrote them off because of all the star trek references, but products are not notch and customer service is great. Prices are still in the easonable" range, though, as a result of the recession I might expect a price jump. Even if their detection kits doouble, they will still be better priced that Dako.

Did Dako go through some sort of re-org or had major lay-offs resulting in fewer people having to do more??
