Chromosome sorting

Hi Flowers,

I would like to make chromosome sorting (from Drosophila) in our
FACSVantage. The problem is that we don't have a 457 nm  laser for
Chromomycin A3 excitation (we have 488/UV dual laser) to achieve
Hoechst/Chromomycin A3 dual staining . I have read a posted message in this
list last year that Howard Shapiro replied and he commented that the Los
Alamos group was working in bivariate histograms from 488 and UV lines
staining with Hoechst and TOTO or YOYO (Cytometry 15:129-140, 1994). Is the
resolution with Hoechst/TOTO or YOYO similar to Hoechst/Chromomycin A3?
Could I really work with 488/UV laser for a good bivariate analysis and
following sorting?

Thanks in advance

Merry Christmas and Happy Y2K to all ;-)
