dear colleagues

does anyone have experience sorting fibroblast cell lines?

i'm sorting FLST cell line. this is an embryonic cell line which supports b-cell development.
unfortunately after sorting the cells remain alive but don't attach like they
normally do

i detach the cells by cell scraping and filter through a mesh post two step staining.

cytometry is on a facsvantage, 70 micron nozzle, sheath p.s.i is 11.

any ideas for increasing viablity/adherence would be greatly appreciated.
