Several years back when we were analyzing large numbers of events on G1 Power PC Macs, I started doing our data collections using 256 channels, rather than the typical 1,024. The speed of analysis was increased markedly with this change. Common sense tells me that there should be little if any difference in the data generated using either 256 or 1024 channels. Perhaps my histograms will look a little smoother? Question: What real advantage is there to using 1024 rather than 256 channels? Does it add significantly to the precision of DNA, CFSE or CBA assays? For less exacting applications (phenotyping, intracellular cytokines) is there any real benefit? Thanks, Calman
