Hello everybody,
I know that this question appears nearly all three month,
but I now have to decide which high speed sorter we
should buy. As we will have only one apparatus for both,
analysis and sorting, the decision (may be) will not be the
same as if one consider to buy a flow cytometer for
sorting purposes only.

And as far as I know, almost only MoFlo user answered
to the last queries.
So my questions:
What is the experience with the Altra (Coulter)? I did
not hear from any experience in this list.
What is the experience with the FACS-Vantage?
>From the last queries, the MoFlo tends to be the best
sorter (but only users of the MoFlo answered!). What's the 
experience with it for analysis purposes only. Is it easy to handle?
Is anybody in the flow community, who can really
compare these sorters?

Thanks for every statement in advance!

Andreas
