Hi, Howard and Belinda: Boston Probes was recently acquired by Applied Biosystems. Custom probes can now be sourced from Applied Biosystems. A good contact is Jens Hyldig-Nielsen at ABI. His email is: Jens.Hyldig@appliedbiosystems.com. PNA probes for medical diagnostics (S. aureus, C. albicans and E. faecalis) are now available from AdvanDx, Inc. (http://www.advandx.com). The contact there is Henrik Stender. His email is: Henrik.Stender@AdvanDx.com. Good luck and happy fishing! Byron Byron Brehm-Stecher, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Research Associate Prof. Eric A.
