We are about to purchase a flow cytometer for studies on HIV in
Botswana. Two machines that we are considering are the BD FACS
Calibur and the Beckman-Coulter EPICS XL. We currently have a BD
FACS Count and need to upgrade. Does anyone have any advice on
the relative advantages of either machine? Our requirements will
be initially high volume CD4/CD8 counts (for which we need to be
able to store or initially prepare samples at remote sites for
several days before counting) and then more advanced
immunocytochemistry research applications related to vaccine
studies. Any general comments on the performance of these two
machines would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Trevor Peter
