Message text written by "Houston, Jim " >FACS was before MoFlo was concieved. We will all have to see if MoFlo can stand the challenge of time. Can Cytomation redesign the electronics of the MoFLo to keep up with future needs? Is this another Cytoflurograph? < Jim: Ouch - please don't turn us into dodos before our time! But this is a provocative question. The answer is that the "Mo" in MoFlo stands for modular, which is one very significant difference between it and the Cytofluorograph - among others - and one reason why it will stand the test of time. The open, modular structure that Ger van den Engh conceived for BOTH electronics and optical system made it easy to add "future needs" like four-way sorting, SortMaster (a dynamic controller, not just a watcher) and 32-parameter data capacity, without re-design or diminished flexibility and without obsolescence.
