Elite maintenance

There must be others here who are running an Elite flow cytometer
without the luxury of a service contract so perhaps I can ask for
some advice from you. Spare parts from Coulter are of course
expensive. For example, for a replacement sheath filter I've just
been quoted (after VAT) 575 pounds UK . Equivalent (looking) filters
in the standard catalogues are about 10% of the price. Is there
anything very special that makes the ones supplied by Coulter so
expensive? Does anyone have suggestions for alternative suppliers
for sheath and waste filters and for that matter any other bits and
bobs that get replaced from time to time? Anything that I should be
wary of?

If I get enough useful replies I'll post a summary and add the
information to our web site as (I hope) a useful resource.

Many thanks in advance,

Haze
