Greetings:

Since my initial post, I have now received no less that 6 replies with
information of three more additional vendors of either fresh or fixed
CRBCs, bringing the total number of suppliers of CRBCs to 4 (not including
Sigma).  

--------
From: "Janette" <janette@amcell.com>

Another source of CRBC's and CEN's is BioSure in Grass Valley, California.
They
sell flow cytometry products which include a series of BioSure Liquid
Controls. 
Phone:  (800) 345-2267 and Fax:  (916) 273-5097.  You can also visit their web
site at http://www.riese.com.

From: "RIESE ENTERPRISES, INC." <BIOSURE@ORO.NET>

I saw your inquiry regarding chicken red blood cells on
the Purdue Cytometry Mailing List.  Our company, Riese
Enterprises, Inc.: BioSure Division, manufactures
glutaraldehyde fixed chicken red blood cells as well as
other cytometry controls.   We can also supply whole
blood from chickens, trout  or other sources.  Please
review our Web site, www.biosure.com or www.riese.com.
for controls, reagents and other laboratory products.
If  I can assist you in developing a custom control or
reagent, please call me at (800) 345-2267.

I used to use Colorado Serum Company, but haven't used their fresh blood in
over 10 years!

And from my original note (edited):

Well, it turns out that if anyone want fresh CRBC one need look no further
than Lampire Biological Labs, P.O. Box 270, Pipersville, PA.  215.795.2838
Voice/ 215.795.0237 Fax.  They have a web site at http://www.lampire.com
from which info and a catalog can be obtained.  

--------

Formally to Alice and Jill, and all else who wondered... Yes it is an "L"
as in Lampire!  Although given the products supplied, I agree that a "V"
could be comically substituted.  However, I doubt webbing to
www.vampire.com would render useful information about CRBCs and their use
in flow cytometry...  

Best to all,
David
