Power requirements for Alexa350 excitation

Wayne,

What wavelength does your UV laser operate at?  I'm about to try Alexa 350
on an LSR which has a 325nm UV laser and it has been intimated to me that
it may not work very well.  And I won't have the option of adjusting
output.  I for one would be interested in your results.

Just a very quick question - can someone with experience of Alex350 use in
flow tell me how much laser power is usually needed to get a decent signal?
I have a neutravidin Alexa350 that stubbornly refuses to show itself and I
can't go over 50 mW or else I'll start leaving burn marks on my UV line LP
splitter.
Cheers
