We just had a used FACStar+ installed and now we're in the market for a used
recirculating water bath.  (Dem  new ones ain't cheap!)  I've come across two
flavors.  One just recirculates water around the sample and collection tubes.
The other is a real bath that you also place the sheath tank in.  Do I really
need to keep the sheath at temp?

  Also, we're considering a Time Zero module from Cytek for Calcium flux
experiments.  I invite any comments on this system.  We also have a FACSCalibur
and I'm wondering how well Cytek's 20L Cubitainer sheath and waste system works.
Is it worth the $2450 to not have to empty/fill the fluids every couple of
hours?  I look forward to your replies.
