Mark,
You may well have quotes, but I would be surprised if they have the
machines to sort at 20,000 cells per second. Whatever different
companies claim as a sorting rate most people I know who use machines
from any of these companies work nearer 1000 cells per second if they
need reasonably clean populations.
Have fun
