Hello,
I am trying to help a colleague look at viability in sperm on my
FACScan.  Setting the FSC and the SSC detectors has been a bit difficult
because there are apparently very heterogenous populations in the
different parts of the epididymis and I do not have a modification to
align the sperm like on the MoFlow.
Has anyone out there done anything with sperm on a FACScan?  If so, can
you recommend settings to use?  Also, has anyone experience with SYBR14
dye and sperm from Molecular Probes?

Thanks very much in advance.
