Dear Flow-ers,

Our clinical lab is looking to buy a new cytometer....
I would like to hear some honest opinions (non sales-rep)
I am overwhelmed with info, and need some good non-biased answers.
What is the best machine for 4-color analysis?
Should we get the HeNe laser? (I am trying to consider future options)
We're not looking to sort anytime soon...basic leuk/lymph panels
Any tidbits on ease of use, training, cost, reagent contracts, maintenance,
technical support(biggie)
Any experiences you can relate, I will keep to myself...or post if you would
like all to know...
Sincere Thanks!

Lynn Kord
I'm leaning(a very slight lean)towards the Calibur (2laser)but I would
really like to hear from some Coulter fans that are possibly doing 4-color
