Disappearing monocytes

I am posting this on behalf of a colleague who is not on the 'net'.    He is
running an Elite ESP, equipped with air-cooled lasers, and the 3x 100-micron
flow cell ("Sort-Sense").   The (prepped whole blood) samples run and
accumulate normally, until he increases the sample rate.    Once the rate is
above 1000-2000 per second, the monos "disappear" !   Reducing the rate
again brings the monos back into the accumulation.   We think this might be
due to the monos binding to the sample tubing, and/or other surfaces.   Is
there a way to prevent this?
Regards,

Dave Lundy.
