Hi all!
 An investigator here is hoping to sort bacteria from rat blood. He would
like to dilute the blood in citrated buffer and throw it on the sorter and
go.  I told him the sort would be much quicker and cleaner if he removes
RBC's, WBC's  etc. before sorting.  I have searched the Purdue archives and
Pub Med. and have not found any articles dealing with this issue.   My
question is, is anyone sorting bacteria from blood?   If so, would you be so
kind as to send a protocol or indicate a reference where I can look up a
procedure?  Thanks in advance!
