any interest in modified synthetic boundary centerpieces?

     Hi youall...
     
     I'm trying to convince Beckman to make some modified synthetic 
     boundary centerpieces with the outside scribe at 6.941 cm to give a 
     volume of 70 microliters so that if the solvent sector is filled with 
     210 microliters and the solution sector with 70 microliters one gets 
     matched menisci at 140 microliters and a boundary.  Why do I want 
     these?  I want to look at polymers with the Lechner method out of BASF 
     with interference data and want to get Co's and equilibrium data from 
     the same cell assembly and to shorten the time to equilibrium for the 
     large mw polymers.  But I'll bet youall (pardon my Southernese!) out 
     there might well see other neat uses for these proposed mutant 
     synthetic boundary centerpieces. If you are interested, please e-mail 
     me (if possible) a brief desicription of your possible use so that I 
     can convince Beckman that such a mutant might sell.
     
     Thanks
