Stock should be listed on Thurs. after my conversation with him today. I would call DNAP and go visit them when their buildout is finished. Since you are talking about a 6 hour trip, I would try to at least visit with them and try to do some other business here to make it worth it.
The robot was an ORCH machine that moved a petri dish down to a piece that put some types of drops on it. Cool automation. I am not sure of the practicality in regards to their software.
