Dear Flowers,
we are in the process to buy a FACSCalibur, and we would like to here your
suggestion abut the kind of sheath fluid we must/can use. We aren't planning
any sorting, maybe some DNA work, lot and lot of phenotyping and
intracellular staining.
>From the archives looks like that different people use different solutions,
and for different reasons. I have been using sterile saline for FACScan and
FACStar, and D'PBS for FACSort, but being new to the Calibur world, I would
like to be sure that those alternatives to the BD sheath fluid are OK.

Thanks a million in advance
Mara
