Dear colleague,

I would appreciate receiving a price-list of the flow cytometers your
company has for sale.  Also, could you clarify the following questions I
have regarding the capability of the cytometers:

-  can the lamp in the cytometer be used with a variety of
stains/fluorochromes or is it limited to use with DAPI or PI for example.

-  can one cytometer be compatible with both microbiological work (eg. cell
counting/sorting) and plant cell DNA analysis (ploidy/aneuploidy analysis
specifically).  These cell sizes differ, is the aperature of the machine
'set' for one range of cell size or does a pre-filtering step (with filters
of different diameters in microns) eliminate this concern.

I would be grateful for a speedy reply because we are anxious to purchase
and get 'set-up' as soon as possible.

Thanking you in advance,

Regards,

Rosario Curry.
