[RASMB] Looking for an XLA

[H. Olin Spivey]

Hi John,

    We may very well be interested in selling our XL-A.  We don't have 
interference optics, but our instrument has low number of hrs; it was 
purchased in 8/98 and has a fairly large number of accessories.  It 
was obtained from NSF on a  Major Mult-User Grant program for which I 
was grant  and instrument supervisor  and the grant was written with 
this instrument and facility as the sole  facility in our state.  I 
was, and still think I am the only one in our state with extensive 
experience with analytical ultracentrifuges.  It was used heavily for 
the first few years, but then fell into so little use  that we cannot 
afford to keep it on a maintenance contract, a pretty essential need. 
I doubt that we can consider a recovery basis more than 50%, which is 
what I recall was our State's match of the NSF's grant, so it will be 
a good deal.  I will first have to obtain the approval of my 
Department and then, if approved, offer the instrument to any other 
State facility in OK.  But other than these conditions, we would be 
happy to consider your offer.

    I will be leaving for the ASBMB meetings early, starting Fri. 3/27 
and returning to Stillwater, OK on 4/8.  You can contact me at any 
time on my phone or my email address during these times or see me at 
these meeting if you wish.  I will be presenting one of the "late 
breaking" posters on Wed., 4/6, so you can catch me there also.

Look forward to talking with you more - or better yet meeting you in S. D.
Cheers and Beers as whoose-it says,
Olin
