If the name of the destination gate matches the name of the gate you are dragging then the node replacement dialog… Read more »

Working with images? You can open, gate, and add statistics to image files with the latest release of FlowJo v10 (10.0.7 or later). Image files, like FCS files, can be parsed into component parts for analysis. Similar to events or cells in an FCS file, pixels are characterized by their color and brightness attributes. In this… Read more »

is an open source programming environment used by scientists to create software tools for their research needs.  Many of these tools have been shared and can be incorporated at no cost into your cytometric data analysis workflow. There are three ways that you can use R with FlowJo, listed here in order of increasing computer… Read more »

Applying new compensation matrices to data loaded into templates can be a bit confusing. This document will help! When a template is created on compensated parameters, and new data is loaded that was compensated on the machine (includes an acquisition matrix), these data will load right into the template and gates will be applied. However,… Read more »

The CyTOF is a Time of Flight based mass spectrometer that produces FCS files as an output.  The data can thus be analyzed in FlowJo. What is a CyTOF? The CyTOF is a mass cytometer produced by DVS Sciences.  The name is an abbreviation for ‘cytometry Time Of Flight’, and the machine is used to… Read more »
