[labnetwork] SVG track coaters

[Michael Rooks]

We are very happy with our (4)Laurell 
<http://www.laurell.com/index.php>spinners.  They are simple, well 
built, and relatively inexpensive. I bought a new one for $4100 USD. In 
my opinion, simple spinners and hot plates are more appropriate for 
university labs.  Track coaters are very complex and hard to maintain.
