just to let those who were interested know, i got a few responses on this question. two individuals suggested that gowning up in complete BL3 gear was sufficient, since the cytometer was not supposed to generate aerosols. another said that her BL3 cytometer was located downstream of the airflow, so that air moves away from the operator. i'd like to hear if from BD reps to see if any of their customers have taken any extra precautions. please reply to the list as lots of people seem to be interested!! thanks once again for the responses! barbara <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Barbara A.
