Hi Michele, I should recommend the upgrade to a G4. It will run much much faster then the Quadra and your throughput increases a lot. Not only cellquest will run faster (not watching the turning globe for 5 seconds after you hit the acquisition button), but the data rates from the cytometer are also higher. I moved the Quarda to the cell sorter (not used for routine samples, sorting only) because it's so slow compared to the G3's I have at the Facscans/Facscalibur.

Hi, I am planning on upgrading the MAC (Quadra 650) running my FACScan to a G4, and have a few uncertainties. I'd like to know if the investment is worthwhile, or should I be thinking about getting a new cytometer altogether? Obviously, I realize the huge difference in the cost of these two options, but I just want to get some opinions.
