There must be others here who are running an Elite flow cytometer without the luxury of a service contract so perhaps I can ask for some advice from you. Spare parts from Coulter are of course expensive. For example, for a replacement sheath filter I've just been quoted (after VAT) 575 pounds UK . Equivalent (looking) filters in the standard catalogues are about 10% of the price. Is there anything very special that makes the ones supplied by Coulter so expensive? Does anyone have suggestions for alternative suppliers for sheath and waste filters and for that matter any other bits and bobs that get replaced from time to time? Anything that I should be wary of? If I get enough useful replies I'll post a summary and add the information to our web site as (I hope) a useful resource. Many thanks in advance, Haze ---------------------------------------------------------- | Hazel Marie Davey hlr@aber.ac.uk | |Sefydliad y Gwyddorau Biolegol*Inst.
