mts37... Thanks! The shot glass was way off base. I believe I had the right idea but the wrong example... Let me try that again. The weight conversion charts say 1 ounce = .035 grams. Now if we take 1 lb. of butter as an example, which I assume would have similar mass to DNA, cut it into 16 equal pieces, we should in theory have 16, one oz pieces. Now take one of those 1 oz pieces of butter and cut it into 28 equal pieces (takes 28 grams to make an oz.) Now you would have the butter in 1 gram pieces by weight, and I don't think you could cover a piece of bread with one gram. Once again this is the assumption the butter and DNA are in the ballpark, as far as mass. Granted it doesn't sound logical... All I know for sure is that I wish I owned that DNA making prototype machine. They did say somewhere that they were mounting the prototype on a sanitary cart. At that time I was thinking on the lines of a small car hauler. Now I'm thinking quite a bit smaller... Take care!
