Dear Flow'ers, My institute is about to purchase both a flow cytometer and a cell sorter. Both instruments will be purchased from the same company, as packaging them together gets us a better price. The decision comes down to the Beckman Coulter Epics XL flow cytometer and Epics Hypersort cell sorter versus the Becton Dickinson FacsCalibur flow cytometer and FacsVantage cell sorter. I'd be interested to hear from you about the advantages/disadvantages of each and your recommendations. In addition, could you comment on your experience with the "walkaway" carousels that are available for the flow cytometers? To spare everyone on the list, please email me privately. I appreciate any and all comments. Cheers, Joe
