Lipemic Samples

On occasions I might receive samples that range from mild to gross lipemia.
The lipemia interferes greatly with the flow cytometric analysis.  In the
past I have tried washing techniques to remove the lipid prior to staining.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered lipemic specimens for flow
analysis and how they have dealt with them.  I would appreciate anyone elses
war stories.

Thanks
