Hi all, I'm a bit confused regarding the best kind of tubes to catch FACSorted droplets and I couldn't really find a thread in the archives. I heard some recommend glass tubes because they don't build up static charge... as far as I vaguely remember from school, glass builds up static electricity quite nicely, or am I missing something? Others use polypropylene round bottom tubes saying polystyrene tubes are the wrong-doers. I've used polypropylene tubes, but I suspect a lot of droplets are being repelled after a while (I also coat the walls with FCS-rich medium). What's the best material to collect the drops, and what's the rationale behind the choice? Thanks very much again! Karim
