You all are way too hyper
. It is just a stylized drawing to "enhance" the product. Go to the parent site and you will see this nice little description with it:
Those little things it is catching are not mosquitoes, they are stylized representations of protiens, the alpha-helix being quite characteristic. It is not in a vase, it is in a sample tube. And the caps are rather uniquely designed so that you can pipette in and out without having to pop it open so there is no chance of spilling your sample (which is usually measured in microlitres. =0.000001 litres).
So in short there is nothing "wrong" with it since it is not meant to represent a VFT for the eyes of CPers. It is not a matter of "accuracy" to life. It is just meant to be cool looking for us dork scientists who want to think there is more going on with a reaction than elector-affinity binding to resin beads.
Funny, I have seen that thing numerous times since I work with Amersham products and I never figured anyone would be interested in it. Then Barry goes and posts on listserv and now Ozzy here. I should have done it months ago.
