Our department is going to be in the market for a flow cytometer sorter and I was wondering what the pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages of say the, BD Facscalibur vs Coulter vs the other machines are. I am familiar mostly with one make of machine and I want to make sure I am not biased by my past experiences. We were looking for a good general purpose machine that will do mostly cell surface immunofluorescence and intracytoplasmic staining as well a little sorting when needed. Most of the projects are in mammalian systems- no bacteria, virus, plants, marine organisms etc. Please respond directly to me rather than to the group to avoid offending one company or the other. I dont mind hearing from the manufacturers of machines provided they e-mail me directly, and identify their affiliations clearly. Thanks in advance Murali Ramanathan State University of New York, Buffalo, NY
