Dear group,
 Hi,
   Currently we are having a BD FACS Vantage with a
488nm air cooled laser and four FL channels. We would
like to purchase a UV laser (most importantly with a
air cooled UV laser, there is an option with BD where
they have suggested a heat exchanger so that one
dosent require to use a continious source of water).
   What I wanted to inquire is if any one has gone for
such an upgradation and what are their experiences and
what kind of options are available (cant give any
details of the experiments planned with the UV laser
as someone else in our institute is going to use it
and frankly no experiments have yet been decided apart
from chromosome sorting). Is it possibel to use the
machine as 2 lasers and 6 FL channels. In the BD tech
manual I found some configurations but some how they
didnt seem to be optimum utilization of the lasers.
 Thanks for any suggestions,
 Regards,
