"hybridization chambers"
I am currently trying to find out which hyb chambers are really good. Is it really necessary to pay e.g. 175$ for the TeleChem chambers, or does anybody know a machinist who does this much cheaper?
And what do you think about using plastic parts in hyb chambers? When you use them quite often, won´t the plastic be distorted?
Please tell me about your experiences.

Thank you,
Florian

1. "RE: hybridization chambers"
Before we use an automated hyb machine, we had used Corning's hybridization chambers for array experiments. It costs $50 per chamber and it's good enough for this purpose. Since there are no screw-heads on the upper surface, you can pile them up in a water bath or a hyb oven.

In some protocol (I found it on the web site of NEN), they recommended to use a 50mL-conical tube with a wet dust-free tissue (e.g. small KimWipe with 400 uL 2XSSC)as a hyb chamber. It must be one of the most ecomomical ways. You need to pay attention to keep the array on the level.

Save money!
