Charles,

I cultured sf9 for years, but the only flow I've done with them was a 
quick demonstration of DNA content using PI.  That worked well.

I would imagine it would work as well as any other system, perhaps better,
since you don't need to trypsinize them, just shake or pipette gently.
And if the protein is under the control of the baculovirus polyhedrin
promoter you should get tons of signal.

Good luck,
Steve
