Yeah I was pretty impressed with it, it did a great job for being $50 off ebay. I havn't really looked at heating ramp times compared to peltier, but when the lid in the top of the machine opens, it cools very fast. The only downsides I can think of quickly is the need for mineral oil as well as not being able to do a 4 degree C final hold.
But, if you can give up those two things, it saves a lot of time. After we get the sample sequenced, going to re-do some amplifications and drop extension and annealing times by 5s or 10s a run and still see if PCR works.
I re-did the write-up and posted it, http://basementbiotech.org/ but it's basically the same, with just an extra picture of two.
I'll be one of the first in line if AirPCR comes out!
