Dear Flowers

I have a problem with FacsAria
When I sort stem cells from KASUMI cells linee (Acute
MyeloId Leukaemia), I lost the cells.
My guess is that the cells are being lost due to stickiness or cell
death.
Looking at FSC vs. SSC and gating on the viable cells post sort only
10% of the events fall in what I would consider debris or dead cells. The
cells are spin down  and then counted. There are essentially no dead cells
visible
in these counts.
Last time I sorted 3.200.000 cells and I have count only 11.000!! It's
impossible!! I don't have the same  problem with other cells type and I use
always the same parameters ( PSI, Drop delay and Frequency)
Can you help me?
Any insights will be greatly appreciated.

Ciao
Simona
