Re: Simple flow cytometer construction

Patty:

Your friend might want to get in contact with the group hosting the Annual
Course in Flow Cytometry.  They have a lab there "Build A Flow Cytometer"
run by a group from Los Alamos National Labs (Jim Jett, John Martin and Mark
Wilder) that takes you from parts and a bread-board to a working cytometer.

I don't know if they have plans or details available, but it was a fun lab
when I did it years ago.

Cheers
Tim
