We have use 0.1um filter sheath fluid but did not insert it into the
fludics. It is very necessary to seperate small bacteria from particulate
matter in the sheath fluid. We first filter it through a 0.2um filter
followed by a 0.1 um filter. It is SLOW.

Dear everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience installing a finer filter than
the standard 0.22um one in the sheath line of a FACSCalibur. If so, what was
your experience with this.

Thanks in advance,
