Hello, Flowers,
We are having trouble recovering healthy-looking cells when
we sort them onto gelatin-coated slides. I was wondering if anyone
had any technical information regarding sorting cells directly onto
glass slides. Are there any special pre-treatments of the slides
that help the cells survive the trauma of the sort, or are there ways
to modify sorting conditions for this application? Any information
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
