The Flow Facility
utilizes and provides several different software packages on our flow
cytometers and for data analysis. For instrument control and data
acquisition we use the following:
B-D/Cytek FACScan - FlowJo Collectors Edition
B-D/Cytek FACSCalibur - CellQuest + Cytek Rainbow (near future will be FlowJo
CE)
Dako CyAn - Summit 4.3
Dako MoFlo - Summit 4.3
Dako MoFlo XDP - Summit 5.0
iCyt Reflection - iCyt and WinList
For data analysis, on the
computer workstation we provide, we have:
FlowJo, Summit 4.3, Summit 5.0, WinList 6.0 3D, DeNovo FCS Express
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

Verity 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. |
