Cytek released an updated version of the Spectroflo acquisition software and we had it installed successfully on the Auroras in our facility. We're now at Spectroflo 3.1.0! Welcome to the future. Users can expect some minor improvements including: Increased max...
The main thing that struck me during the 2022 ChUG Cytometry Workshop held in November is the incredible amount of tools that were developed over the last few years to make of flow cytometry lives easier. Amongst them is the EasyPanel online algorithm that rapidly...
For the longest time, I've been very reluctant to suggest any freeware for flow data analysis. A lot of these solutions are not supported all that well, or are fairly complicated to use. But I saw a tweet over the Thanksgiving break about an online platform called...
I'm mad at myself. I remember seeing a bunch of tweets about something called AutoSpill back in 2021, and completely ignored it being the luddite that I am. But while preparing for the 2022 ChUG Workshop, I revisited the question and realized the errors of my ways....
Most users transfer their flow cytometry data from the server to their computer using the online portal. It's great, easy to access and doesn't fuss all that often. But it can be slow sometimes, and it caps data transfer at 10gb. Is there a better way to transfer...
Here's one for the Annals of Unpublishable Data. I wanted to see if using the unmixing algorithm on data acquired on traditional instruments would help resolving GFP and YFP without using a special filter set. Turns out it doesn't, and that's pretty sad. But if you...
