Re: Can EYFP be run on FACScan?

Nancy,
We've done EYFP on our Elite sorter using an air-cooled argon 488 nm line, about 15 mW.
So, I would suspect this would also work on your Scan.

Hello,
I have an investigator who wants to check samples that have enhanced YFP.  The ideal
excitation is 514.  Has anyone been able to detect EYFP with the 488 excitation of
a FACScan?

I could tune the primary laser on the Vantage to 514, but have only 488/10 filters
for FSC and SSC.

Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
