Hi all, we are currently in the process of buying a new flow cytometer for quantitative analysis of several florescent constructs of B. subtilis bacteria (GFP, YFP, CFP, Dsred,etc.). We are undecided between the BD Calibur and the Partec CyFlow. Has anybody (ideally comparative) knowledge about the performance of these two machines in practice for the use with bacteria? Detection, size discrimination, signal dynamic range, sensitivity, etc. We like the Partec cell counting option which seems to work fine with eukaryotes (does it also work well with bacteria?). Any general comments (service, user-friendlyness, software, etc.) based on user experience between the two companies/machines (BD and GTAC which distributes Partec in US) are also welcome :-) Thanks in advance for all your comments, IlkaReceived on Tue Jun 27 12:38:00 2006
