Ion Torrent 316 Chip Sale!!!! Brand New Unopened

[ECO]

Wow. Just wow. LIFE never ceases to amaze.

I suppose, hypothetically, that if someone were to PM/email you through the forums that it would still be possible to conduct the sale.

Agreed--i'm not really sure what life tech is thinking and another reason why i think it will lose the battle against illumina.

There was another post on this forum recently discussing the terms of service of life tech's ion torrent ampliseq technology and how anyone using ampliseq must provide all their data to life tech within 30 days of any request and how any publications must first be authorized by life tech...

Again, its only a matter of time before such hostility towards the customer comes back to haunt them

BTW, I figured every NGS was being used 24-7 and poeple were fighting to get time on a PGM ? No ? The chips should have gone in less than an hour...

HAHAHA Helping better human condition, democratizing sequencing, a sequencer in every Dr.'s office, The Ipod of sequencers... Hahaha Life Tech understands nothing of retail science and volume presence.

Then again, scientists get all getty at free TShirts and cheap trinkets when they get on the IT bus... All this crap has a price people ! That and seeing the stock go higher, that's the bottom line. I just think ILMN would simply not bother vs LT. Why ? Well because this lawyer cost more to the company that he brought in...

Anyone who bought a used cap sequencer knows exactly how LT deals with customers like you. Funny thing is, it's probably easier to go through e-bay than LT order desk (cough cough). No diss to LT by the way, business is business. We should never forget that.

I'm sorry but all this is funny...

wow so all i was trying to do was get rid of a few extra unused chips we have.

instead, life technologies decided to pick on the little guy and notified ebay that i was violating IP and decided to block my listing
