With regards to David Galbraith's question, I think the used
instrument market offers a number of possibilities. I'm sure
that most of us know of at least one good flow cytometer lying
around under a piece of plastic waiting for a good pair of hands.
I have a FACS 440, single laser system which is only used for the
occasional single cell sort and rarely as a backup sorter when the
FACStar Plus is unavailable. If I could sell this system I would
use the proceeds to purchase an ACDU for the FACStar Plus and eliminate
the only reason I keep the FACS 440 around in the first place. In
that sense, the actual worth of the 440 to me is a little over the price of
the ACDU. I would consider offers within that ballpark but please keep
in mind that that figure would not include a laser (I would keep it for
a backup) and your choice of computer would be none or the PDP-1123 (if
I can dig it out of the warehouse). While I realize that this limits
the applications, it is still a bargain for a workhorse sorter that is
extremely reliable and efficient. The instrument is well maintained and
fully functional as both a sorter and cloning instrument.
