Lorie,

Last year I was in San Diego and got to see a system from Phoenix Flow that
was PC based, ran Windows software, and had hardware to interface with a
FACScan or whatever other BD instrument you might have. The software looked
pretty nice, and they were able to easily manipulate all the data necessary
for our experiments..One would assume that they planned to undercut BDs
price to gain buisness, so it should be less expensive...I have not heard
anything about the system since then, so I really don't have more info, but
if you contact Kevin Becker at Phoenix Flow Systems in San Diego, he can
give you the scoop. Happy hunting!
