I have a Perkin Elmer LS50 B with a microplate reader attached by
fiber optic.
It is in the core facility and anyone can use it if they want to. We
compared it to several dedicated fluorescence plate readers and it
was OK - but not quite as good as most. This may be because it reads
from the top of the plate not the bottom. We do use it, and it does a
reasonable job. Since it only cost a few extra $K it was considerably
cheaper than a stand alone reader and we were buying the LS50B
anyway. It is easy to use, but the data collection and analysis is a
bit cryptic.....

I have recently been asked to "recreate" by flow some experiments
originally performed on multiwell fluorescence plate readers(MWFPR), (with
mixed success).
The thought occured to me that as a Core FACS Facility, specializing
in fluoresence analysis that a useful service/technology to offer and
support would be a MWFPR. It is a first cousin to FACS, and I think would
be a popular and useful adjunct to the FACS Core.
Question, does anyone have any practical experience with this kind of
device? Any caveats? Are there any FACS Cores now offering this
technology? Is there a model/system that is particularly well thought of?
