Hello to all, Since November 2001, I have needed the Macrosort Head on my FACSVantage SE replaced 4 times because of corrosion. I am wondering if anyone else has ever needed a Macrosort Head replaced due to a green-black deposit that pits the metal of the head. My Vantage SE runs all day long 8-5, at 28 PSI and a DDF of 51236. I have been using FACSFlow (azide free) as sheath. I use only 70% ETOH, distilled water, and FACSFlow through the sample line. My collegue uses this combination as well as bleach. If anyone has insight on this one, I would appreciate a reply. Thanks, Lora W.
