Hi all,
	Thanks in advance for your knowledge. I have recently bought the
turbo-sort option for my FACStarPlus (with SEM). It has yet to be installed
so I'm trying to troubleshoot things before hand, if possible (a unique
situation for me). I guess what I would like is any of your experiences you
may have had when your TSO was added, good and bad. I'm not looking to rag
on BD or anything. I would like to know if there are any helpful hints to
get me going more smoothly once it is installed, and, hopefully, save me
from re-inventing the wheel. Are there any conditions to look out for that
could ruin my sort (especially for rare cell populations) before I get to
the end and have an empty tube to present my customer?
	Also, I would like to know some of the things Cliff McArthur was
asking recently about the FACSVantage. Namely, with the turbo-sort, what
are the routine yields, recovery, rate limits, purity, and especially any
tinkering to tweak the machine to go better.

Thanks a million for your help

Ted Duffy
