  We have also observed 1-5% decreases in the mean intensity of fluorescent
  microspheres ("DNA-check" beads from Coulter) on our EPICS XL over
  periods of 3-4 hours.

  A question for EPICS XL users.

  We see a consistant 5-7% decrease in the mean intensity of fluorescent
  microspheres measured by our EPICS XL over a period of 3 hours from
  morning start up. Ambient room temperature varies less than 2 degrees.
  Coulter is not sure if this exceeds any of their specifications for
  performance.

  My question is if this is a systemic problem. Do any other XL users see
  similar behavior?
