Dear Colleagues,

My core facility is considering adding turbo sorting to our list of
services.  We currently have a FACStarPlus from BD, and we've been told this
instrument can be upgraded to add the turbo sort module.  We're interested
in surveying those of you who have done this to find out what kind of
results you've had.  Are you happy with this upgrade?  What kind of problems
did you have, and were they prohibitive?  Were you able to do normal, basic
sorting as well as before the upgrade?  Would you have been better off with
an instrument originally built with the TS module (Vantage SE)?  Also, for
those of you who have a Vantage SE, have you been happy with instrument as a
whole?  Is it worth the cost?

Any input will be greatly appreciated!  Thanks for your time and
consideration.
