	Greetings!  Are there any people very comfortable with Quantibrite
out there?

I have limited experience with Quantibrite and have some questions regarding
the appropriate use of the quantitation.  If the fluorescence of a
population is very tight (non-variable), I am reasonably confident that the
data are meaningful. But what about "quantitating" a very wide peak , or
worse, a dim shoulder on the  negative peak?  Does anyone publish this
stuff? 

I run a core facility, and I have users that are anxious to use and publish
these data...I just don't think that Quantibrite data adds useful
information in alot of cases, but maybe I'm wrong. Why would one want to
quantitate binding sites/cell of a highly variable population? 

Any helpful comments would be appreciated.
