Ca-indo and gfp?

Hi everybody,
we have a BD FACS-Vantage and have tried to measure
Ca-fluxes in GFP overexpressing cells. The cells used are
a low-adherent tumor cell line and were detached by
little mechanical force (tapping the flask). We used INDO
as the Ca-dependent fluorescent dye.
Unfortenately, we had bad luck. Even with ionomycin, we did
not get a Ca response.
Has somebody experience with this combination (GFP INDO)
and can help us?

A second question:
Who knows a flow cytometry company working about blood
homeostasis (platelet activation ...) in Europe?

Thanks in advance

Andreas
