- Why buy 2: The HiSeq 4000 is a big step forwards, costs are likely to drop again making the 2500 less attractive (and sending our 2000 to the skip - For Sale anyone) and output goes up decreasing the number of lanes we need to run. The patterned flowcells also mean we can forget about being quite so careful with library quant. All of this is good news but it does mean we've got to finance new instruments.
- Read any flow cytometry protocol and somewhere near the beginning will state something to the effect of ‘Place 1 million cells into a tube.’ The question is, faced with that special sample for THE experiment, how do you determine the number of cells in the tube? First we'll give a bit of information on why it is important to know the number of cells you have.
