Hi All!

Is anyone using Quick Width as a Pulse Processing parameter for high
speed sorting? I would be curious to know if you find it has improved
the purity of your sorts. I am particularly interested in its utility in
situations where you have cells that tend to stick together and you may
get a positive cell and a negative cell stuck together when transversing
the laser beam and it gets sorted together as a positive but when
reanalyzed they are now separate cells which appears as a contaminate. I
think this tends to be more of a problem when you are sorting based on
one fluorescence parameter such as GFP. I would appreciate any opinions
and experiences from those that have used this feature.

Thanks as always-Joanne
