Hi,
OK so we use a FACS Vantage SE. The filter sets for the He/Ne laser are
according to config. 6 in the BD Immunocytometry product booklet, i.e.:
on FL4 the 780/60 filter for APC-Cy7
on FL5 the 660/20 filter for APC
the 710 LP inbetween
As for your second question, changing to PE may be purely informative (steric
hindrance issue), but it's excluded in this experimental setting (we're
screening a whole battery of other markers in PE in these 5-color experiments)
Hope this clarifies the question
Tx again
