FACS Vantage Query

 Dear Flow'ers,
  We are facing difficulties in alignment of the FACS Vantage SE and this
question regards the availability of concensus protocols and papers that
describe the caliberation of the machine. We use Calibrite beads regularly for
caliberation. But we are not able to get the same reading for the peak
channels for FL1,2,or 3, without changing the voltages. Would it not be a
better idea to use sphero rainbow particles (even if they are expensive). The
manual is somehow not adequate enough for trouble shooting this.  I would be
grateful for any help regarding this. Can some one also give some figures as
to what readings they obtain
upon caliberation with calibrite beads, and any variations in their alignment
protocol.
 Thanks
 Regards
 Rana
