I'm an undergraduate whose research project has, at several times, called for use of a flowcytometer. Believe me I've had a lot of simple questions to ask and the people on this mailing list have been nothing but kind, patient and prompt about giving me straight answers and offering additional help should I need it. To all those of you who are willing to answer the more basic questions my sincere thanks...you are a big help! - Sandra Murray ssmurray@student.umass.edu -----Original Message----- From: Sharon F.
