RE: external quality

Hi,

I've been storing (freezing) quantities of stained cells from leukopheresed 
whole blood and using the material to test purity, recovery, and sorter 
efficiency.  If I could have a show of how many people are interested in a 
QC program for cell sorting, we could look into starting one with perhaps 
quarterly shipments....  I could provide the materials and data forms for 
reporting.
