RE: BD HTS for LSRII/Canto

We got one to use for screening mouse blood.
After 3 months we gave up using it cos there was too
much variation in the data as compared with hand running the samples.

Subject: BD HTS for LSRII/Canto
Hi all,

We are considering adding a 96-welll plate reader to LSRII or Canto  
and I'm putting together a grant application for the BD HTS.

I'm looking for feedback from current users on reliablity and ease of  
use.

I'm also particularly interested in what people are using it for?  
What sort of efficiency improvements does it provide over tubes in  
non-highthroughput scenario (ie most of what we do requires  
reasonably large files).

I know I want one - I just need some convincing arguments for the  
funding committee :)
