Vincent- There are 4 things to control when sorting - drop drive frequency, drop drive amplitude, delay time for drop charge, and drop charge phase (wrt drop drive). >From the brief information you have given, it appears that your sorted stream is "fanning" - that is, all sorted drops for a single event are not getting equivalent charge. You can check if this is so by viewing the deflected stream during a test sort - backlighting is best. The fanning can be minimized/eliminated by adjusting the phase. Good luck! -Marty Bigos Stanford Shared FACS Facility
