'Half BD' big dye diluent

I have only ever used 10ul rxns with 4ul of BD. But in my previous job we
also routinely replaced 1/2 of the BD with half BD from GenPak, meaning
only 2ul of BD/rxn! We always loaded all of the sample and we were using
373 and 377.

I am currently running 3700 machines and have not experimented with half
BD yet and cannot tell you that it will work. However, it does
seem that these machine are even more sensitive and one might guess that 
you could get away with even less BD reagent. 

Good luck
