SP cells

Hi all,


Some of my colleagues in the lab are trying to set up a protocol for
studying SP (side population) cells on a FACSVantage, using Hoechst
labelling.
They have been trying for a few weeks now (using mouse bone marrow
cells, but ultimately they want to use human cells), but have problems
with setting the UV right, and getting the typical SP pattern. Of course
they do not know whether the problem lies with their labelling or with
the cytometer settings.

Are there people who have experience with this labelling, and can help
my colleagues with references and practical guidance.
Are there labs close to Belgium where they can come and learn at the
spot how to set the Vantage?

Thanks a lot!
