This should work; except fluorescein is the wrong dye. As Alan Wagonner,
now at Amersham Life Science in Pittsburgh, has pointed out, increasing the
charge on a dye will inhibit stacking and thus, decrease fluorescence quenching.
CD ROM Vol 2 was produced by staff at the Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories
and distributed free of charge as an educational service to the cytometry community.
