Sorting Difficulties

To All:
In the time course of performing a sort (1-2hrs.) my sorter is experiencing
drifts in droplet breakoff(as observed by the camera screen on the
sorter).When this is observed,the sort is stopped and the drop delay/droplet
breakoff is checked by performing the ususal bead count matrix over several
drop delays.Typically, the drop delay has in fact changed from its original.
While I want to hear any and all responses as to what the problem may be(my
performance or the sorter)assume for the time that there is absolutely no
clogs,no air/fluidic leaks, and all electronics completely in fine tune.
Thanks.
