I'm trying to make a case for expanded flow facilities here, and have to
present good arguments for setting up a proper flow lab to a visiting team
of potentates from a funding organisation. It would be a great help if I
could get some information about flow labs in various outfits round the
world. If it proves interesting/enough people answer, I will post the
results on the network.

Could people in flow labs tell me:

a) How many sorters do you have? .................n=
b) How many analysers do you have?.................n=
c) How many full time specialist operators?........n=
d) How many user groups do you serve?..............n=
e) How many scientists use the facility?...........n=
f) How big is your institution? (staff/employees)..n=

If you don't know all the answers, partial answers are better than none.
All replies will be treated confidentially, but it would help if people
identify themselves so I don't get duplicate information.

Can anyone suggest how else to justify a specific level of flow facilities?

Thanks in advance
