Verity Software House ModFit (DNA and Proliferation analysis (e.g. CFSE))
DeNovo MultiCycle (DNA analysis)

Software for data analysis

The Facility maintains an off-line computer for your use to analyze data.  This computer has the software listed above for data analysis.   All labs performing any substantial amount of flow cytometry will want software on their lab computers for data analysis.  We discourage you from using the computers and software attached to the cytometers for data analysis as it blocks the instruments from collecting new data.  If you do analysis on the cytometers you will pay the full cost of using the cytometer.  If you wish to have software on your lab computer you have the above options to choose from.  Summit is provided free to everyone.  For instructions on how to download Summit and install it on your computer click hereVerity Software House offers a reduced price on additional copies of the software so if you wish to purchase ModFit or WinList from them be sure to mention that the Facility has already purchased a copy.  FlowJo is available from Treestar Software.  FCS Express and MultiCycle are from DeNovo Software.
