clinical vs research

Hello fellow flowers

I have a question to  all cytometrists using a BD FACSCalibur.

Our flow cytometry department wants to use our FACSCalibur for clinical
service (blood, bone marrow, fine needle aspirates and tissue) and research
projects(anti-viral susceptibility testing).
Is anyone using one machine for different applications?  If you are, how do
you clean the cytometer between applications?
Do you find running clinical samples then running research then back to
clinical samples effect your results.
Has anyone experience difficulty running bleach through the FACSCalibur for
more than 30 minutes?  Has it effected your FACSComp and patient results.

Thanking you in advance.
