The problem is with any machine I have experience of (Coulter and BD)
Going faster DOES reduce purity to a significant extent, co-incidence
abort or not. I agree that sorting completely negative cells is much
easier, but they are even easier to select in greater numbers, faster and
with a similar purity using magnetic beads. For functional studies
beads have the same benefit of minimal biological modification.
Flow sorting is most useful in my opinion for sorting the difficult
stuff
Have fun
