Learn More about the Partnership. Fluidigm creates and manufactures innovative technologies and life-science tools designed to revolutionize biology through ongoing pursuit of scientific truth. It has opened new doors to discovery by empowering researchers to interrogate more than 50 markers simultaneously on millions of individual cells, to unveil new cell types, functions and biomarkers in immunology, cancer, stem cells and more.

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. Bio-Rad provides powerful yet easy to use flow cytometers to speed up translational research and advance scientific discovery. Sysmex Partec is the newly formed collaboration between Partec, a worldwide leading pioneer, developer and manufacturer of flow cytometry systems and Sysmex Corporation, a leading international supplier of in vitro diagnostic products.

Sysmex products are used in a wide range of applications in healthcare, immunology, cell biology, microbiology, biotechnology, agrosciences, plant breeding, aquaculture and in pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries. The company is recognized as one of, if not the foremost global force in essential healthcare by widely providing robust and affordable hi-tech diagnostic solutions to resource poor markets.

Phoenix Flow Systems has been in business for over 15 years providing software and reagents for flow cytometry.

BD Accuri Cytometers is a life sciences company developing and marketing revolutionary high performance cell analysis systems. As a core manager, I appreciate the support the FCS Express team provides; they are always available to help my users. We are committed to using FCS express for our flow cytometry data needs as it is the most intuitive and flexible software available. The ease in interfacing with other Windows-based software and a convenient multiuser network installations were major determinants in our decision to purchase FCS Express.

My staff enjoys being able to log in and process data from any desktop computing system in our facility. Application support and accessibility to a network of FCS Express users has also been very useful in developing batch processing and production protocols. Overall, I have not experienced the ease of use and broad applicability with other flow software product. In my opinion there just isn't another software option for us.

I need a user friendly package that will accommodate our current complex multicolor analysis as well as be able to expand for future growth, provide high quality reports for our clients, offer a virtual component for those customers that want to offer tech only flow or more closely interact with their patient results and the big challenge is that this has to happen in an extremely high volume reference laboratory.

De Novo Software has been able to provide us with the features that we need and their technical support is extraordinary. It is my impression that FCS Express does a better job with interfacing with other widely used software programs than the two other programs that we evaluated.

It is hard to put into words, but FCS Express also seemed to have the look and feel of what I thought a "clinical" software program should be. Currently we spend excessive time in clerical tasks of transferring numerical values into our reports. In comparison with the other programs we reviewed, FCS Express seems to better suited to handle these repetitious tasks that are a big part of our clinical work and help separate this application from the needs of a "research" user.

In short, the "automation" features of FCS Express seem stronger which are important to our clinical laboratory. Currently there is a labor tight market for qualified personnel in our area and we find it hard to attract technicians.

Moreover it often takes years to fully train a technician. By using FCS Express anticipate shortening the training cycle by allowing our technicians more time to focus on the more demanding tasks in flow cytometry and less on clerical busy work.

We are currently using DiVa, which is a great data acquisition program, but it does have serious limitations when used for routine data analysis and report generation thus leading to our decision to purchase FCS Express. We have been using BD's software for our data acquisition and analysis for many years. Bio-Rad provides powerful yet easy to use flow cytometers to speed up translational research and advance scientific discovery.

Bio-Rad and De Novo Software have collaborated to provide a seamless transition from acquisition to results. FCS Express 7 will be provided with new Bio-Rad ZE5 instrument sales so joint customers can enjoy the benefits of working with their Bio-Rad derived data sets in FCS Express to quickly and easily obtain complete and publication ready results. View our joint webinar highlighting the intersection between high quality data acquisition from the Bio-Rad ZE5 and getting publication ready results with FCS Express below.
