Dear Birger Christensson,

We have done it on a FACSTAR+.
We used 20 ul Hoechst 33342 (MEMBRANE PARMEABLE DYE) for 2 ml cell
suspension. ncubate for 1 our, 37 Celsius in the Dark. You have to exitate
with uv.
I understand that you have a FACSCAN so you don't have uv.
There is a new dye called YOYO 1 from Becton Dickenson. For more information
about this you should contact:
Maarten van de Keur
Academic Hospital Leiden CKHL

Sincirely, Ron.
