Flow-People,

Our laboratory is in need of a temperature control unit that can be attached to
our Elite ESP and keep samples at a constant temperature (either warmer or
cooler than room temp.). Coulter supplies such a device--at a cost of $6000; if
anyone out there has experience (+ or -) using this item, we would like to hear
from you before taking the plunge. We would also appreciate information on any
other temperature control devices that are available. Our primary requirements
are that the unit not take up too much room, be able to both warm and chill
samples, and provide up to several hours' worth of temperature control at a
stretch (i.e. enable long sorts of viable specimens).

TIA,
