Fourteen filter cubes with specific excit-ative and barrier filters provide excita-tion of commonly used fluorochromes.Additional cubes are available for specialapplications. Newly computed achro-matic and semiapochromatic flat-fieldobjectives provide crisp images overlong working distances. Many accesso-ries are available. E. Leitz. Circle 628.

Peptide Synthesizer

Model 9500 rapidly delivers multigramquantities of peptide. Features includemultiaccess amino acid reservoirs andnondestructive resin agitation by a gentlestream of nitrogen. This allows the use oflow cross-linked resins which results inhigher yields of longer peptides.Multiwindow software contains all nec-essary chemical protocols and calculatesamounts of all reagents required for syn-thesis. The controlling microprocessormay be freed for data analysis by down-loading operating protocols. No specialtraining in programming or peptidechemistry is required of the operator.Biosearch. Circle 631.

Cloning and Expression System

The Protoclone GT system is a lambdagtl 1 cloning and expression systemwhich is useful in the construction ofcomplementary DNA libraries. Advan-tages over cloning with plasmid vectorsinclude high cloning efficiency (approxi-mately 107 plaque-forming units per mi-crogram) and the production of a highpercentage of insert-containing clones. Itis not necessary to pass recombinantsthrough a DNA-modifying strain prior toscreening. A positive control insert isincluded with each lot. Promega Biotec.Circle 629.

Centrifuges

A line is offered that comprises fourmodels including ambient and refrigerat-ed, benchtop, and floor models. Each isdesigned with a range of features fortypical laboratory applications. Analogoperation renders each centrifuge easyto operate. Reproducible rotor speedsrange up to 15,000 revolutions per min-ute and may be controlled to within 10revolutions per minute. Tube counter-balancing is not required. Temperature ismaintained during spin to within 1°C inrotary buckets. Safety features include apositive latch that prevents opening ofthe lid during spin.

DNA Synthesizer

System 1 Plus provides automatedsynthesis of single-stranded DNA. It of-fers fast production of hybridizationprobes as well as accurate synthesis ofmutagenesis primers. The unit is con-

trolled by an IBM PC/XT control moduleand data may be entered with keyboardor light pen. Ninety-nine base additionsmay be programmed in the 5' to 3' direc-tion. Nucleotides are linked with phos-phoramidite chemistry for high yields.Cycle time is less than 15 minutes. Allsteps are automated: deblocking, con-

densation, oxidation, and capping. Beck-man Instruments. Circle 634.

Gas Chromatograph

Model 3500 is a high resolution, capil-lary gas chromatograph designed for use

with inert capillary fused silica columns.Cross talk between the column oven andthe injector and detector ovens is mini-mized. Electronic pressure readout al-lows easy reproduction of flows specifi-cally for split/splitless injection. It offerssplit flow readout and column (calculat-ed) flow readout. A standby temperaturefeature eliminates need for daily clean-up. The detector electronics time con-

stant is 50 msec. Hydrogen may be usedas a carrier gas. Varian, InstrumentGroup. Circle 635.

Reception and PrizeHonor AbelsonPast and present editorial board mem-

bers, reviewers, authors, editorial andAssociation staff, and members of thescience and technology community cametogether at a reception on 8 March tohonor Philip H. Abelson. The reception,hosted by the AAAS Board of Directorsand the Secretary of the SmithsonianInstitution, was held at the Smithsonian.Abelson, who retired at the end of

1984 after 22 years as editor of Science,said he believed that he had had the"best job in the world . . . providing aspecial opportunity and incitement forlife-long learning." Noting the interna-tional readership of Science, Abelsondescribed being able to go anywhere in

the world and meet with people whoselives have been touched by Science.He did, however, have a lighthearted

word of advice for Daniel E. Koshland,Jr., current editor of Science. Abelsonexplained that authors of articles receivethe fan letters and the editor gets thecomplaints. However, he said, Koshlandshould not worry unless he stops hearingfrom the complainers!Anna J. Harrison, chairman of the

Board of Directors, announced the es-tablishment of the Philip Hauge AbelsonPrize. The Prize will be awarded, begin-ning next year, to a public servant inrecognition of exceptional contributionsto the advancement of science or to ascientist whose career has been distin-guished both for scientific achievementand for other notable services to thescientific community of the UnitedStates.

Western Scientists Meetin MontanaTopics from bioethics to the origins of
