I did a great deal of LSC for my thesis using an LS1801, which I also found to be a quite functional and fairly reliable instrument. We avoided the Beckman transporter and software due to the cost, and instead I hacked together a program to capture the data on a dedicated PC. The data are separated on a per-user basis and can be converted to simple x,y sets or to text files which can be imported to 123 with all fields intact. This is how I did the CPM->DPM conversions (our model didn't do the calculation). I always figured we were penny-wise and pound-foolish, but given your experience, maybe not... <Joe -- Joe Smith University of Pennsylvania jes@mbio.med.upenn.edu Dept. of Biochemistry and Biophysics (215) 898-8348 Philadelphia, PA 19104-6059
