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
