I know this subject was discussed some time ago but I need to know some more
information. We are interested in purchasing a data archive system that will
serve our entire lab. In the lab we have a FACS Vantage, FACScan, FACS Caliber,
FACS Trak and a Discovery Image analyzer. We want a single archive system that
will be compatible with both the Macintosh platforms attached to the flow
cytometers as well as the IBM Dos system attached to the Image analyzer.
Considering the size of the files to be saved we are currently leaning toward
either a writable CD or an Optical drive. Price is a consideration but we want
something flexible and useful for all the systems.
Has anyone tried to do such a thing in their lab? What is the available advice
based on personal experience?
Your patience and consideration of my question is much appreciated.
