deer fellow flow sufferers,

I pose 3 questions, totally irrelevant to one another....I hope someone out
there is listening...Fank you all for your time and answers in advance...

1. Recently I was asked if it possible to sort intracellular particles, eg.
mitochondria etc.. Has anyone done this..how good are the yields? is there a
protocol which may be employed or are there any helpful references...I have
a dual laser FACStar Plus. There are so many questions....non-specific
staining? Do I have to change the nozzle size (currently 75um), do I have to
alter the drop drive frequency and to what optimal frequency? are there
alternate methods other than flow? will I be battling with high abort rates? 

2. Laser question...is anyone selling or know of a source of an air cooled
He-Ne or Argon -ion laser emitting at ~600nm? I know Coherent sell them, but
prefer maybe alternate prices???

3. beads...I am looking for a source of Fc coated beads ~2um to be used in a
phagocytic assay...

I asked more questions than 3 didn't I? hope they weren't too inane...
