Hi all, We are looking over a proposal for the purchase of a "active seventh detector upgrade" and "TurboSORT" options for a dual laser, 3 beam (UV, 488 and 647) FACStar Plus, with autoclone unit. The proposal includes an upgrade of the HP computer to a PowerMac. First question, does one really need the PowerMac: is there a real/significant advantage over HP / LYSYS combo? If so, what is/are they. Second, does CELLQuest for the FACStar allow cross laser compensation i.e.: FL3-1 minus %FL3-2, and FL3-2 minus %FL3-1. How does the autoclone software rate? Sure, I'ld like a PowerMac, but how do I justify the expense? The instrument is used mostly for 3 color sorting, soon for 4 or 5 color sorts, and occassionally for calcium mobilisation and other non sorting applications. All comments are welcome. Thanks, Claude
