曰く、

Dear Colleague,

DNA construction is tedious and time-consuming. The typical process and costs are outlined below:

1 day Design (various)
3 days Oligo synthesis ($25)
1 day PCR ($20)
3 days Cloning ($100)
3 days Sequencing ($100)
2 days Maxi-Prep ($50)

The total time is 13 working days, nearly 3 weeks. The total cost of reagents alone is about $300.

Is this how you want to spend your time and funding? Other tasks, like mutation correction, can drag the process out further and adding more reagent cost.

Consider how much you could save by ordering DNA constructs directly from GenScript. GenScript will deliver each construct ready-to-use and to your exact specifications, in a similar timeframe.
The price of our DNA construction service is not much higher that of your reagent cost for a similar project. Meanwhile, you can invest your most valuable resource – your time – in active, creative lab work instead of DNA manipulation and logistics.

要は青字の部分、自分で実験した場合にかかる試薬代より、ちょっと高いお金で、全部、やってあげますよ。時間がセーブ出来て、その間に、他のことが出来ますゼ、旦那。どう?ってぇことだが、『ちょっと高い』のが実際にどれだけ高いのか、不明だが、まぁ、使えない学生やポスドク(ぇ?私のこと?)にヤらせるより時間も金も確かに節約出来るかも

まぁ、金持ちのlabにしか出来ない荒業だわなぁ。
