Fwd: BD HTS for LSRII/Canto

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my question about the BD HTS.  
I will post a summary later this week.

However, I do have a followup question prompted by the following:-

Begin forwarded message:

> in our workflow to account for evaporation during the run (well 96  
> sits for around 2.5 hours uncovered before being acquired).


ie this raised the question for some of the investigators here about  
sample cooling. They prefer to keep their samples cool (ie on ice)  
until they run them and are concerned about loading up a plate and  
leaving it at room temperature while it is acquired.

Has anyone encountered problems in this respect (particularly with  
mouse lymphocyte and macrophage preps)? Is there anyway to keep the  
plate cool while it is being acquired.
