Yes, I was at training at BD last month and they were discussing this new
option.  I doubt that you will find many who have used it yet, as it is
only being released this month, other than demos or beta prototypes.  I am
surprised you got a $15,000 quote, as we were told govt pricing would be
around $34K.  It sounds great in theory since we do all of our staining in
96 well plates then transfer to cluster tubes before analysis.  Let us
know how it works for you, please.
