I'm trying to get SI biotechies who actually work in labs to tell me how they are/ought to be equipped. As one fitting the mold, I suggest the easiest way to go about this is to actually go into a lab and examine the catalog bookshelf. More efficient; most objective.

Tuck, no, I don't work in a wet lab per se, just next to one. If I were to do this, I would use scott's "catalog" method with the caveat that I would not know a shaker from a centrifuge from a whole in the ground (slight exaggeration -g-). Of the big ticket items I see around here, worth mentioning are ABI sequencers and oligo synthesizers, PCR machines made by a variety of vendors, FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) equipment made by Beckton-Dickinson (spelling probably wrong), BIAcore machine for analysis of intermolecular interactions, a couple of Mass Spectroscopy machines (these are in the other building, so don't ask me for details, just know they are "there"), etc. PB
