PerCP chemistry

Can someone please outline the physical attributes of PerCP, with respect
to that dyes requirements for excitation time, laser power requirements,
etc. How do these compare/contrast with the requirements of something like
FITC, PE, or APC?

For example, I see that PerCP works well when exited within the cuvette
of a FACScan, but not in a stream-in-air sorter, ostensibly due to the
longer time and lower laser-power requirements of the dye. Can someone give
me the real FACS? thanks.
