Hello, netters.

I have several questions.
Could you reply some of them, if possible ?

1. Can ELF from Molecular Probes be used in flow cytometry ?
   I want to stain intracellular proteins with AP-conjugated antibodies.
   Amplification of the signals using ELF is available ?
   Our EPICS ELITE ESP is equipped with  He-Cd 325nm line.  I think ELF
   would be excited by 325nm UV.

   Or, must I try to use Fast Red TR or something other substrates ?


2. Are TOTO-3 and TO-PRO-3 excited by Ar 488nm line ?  I mean, when
   analysing cell surface antigens by FITC, PE and PerCP-labeled
   antibodies, can TOTO-3 and TO-PRO-3 be used as live/dead cell
   discriminators like PI using He-Ne 633 nm simultaneously ?


3. Is there anybody who uses AMCA ?
   Is this dye good for three or four color analysis ?


Any comments and replies would be appreciated.
Thank you.
