Distribution Agreement
Standard BioTools Corporation and De Novo Software are pleased to provide customers with access to a data analysis solution for the high-parameter data files generated by mass cytometry using De Novo Sofware's FCS Express 7.
Under the distribution agreement, new purchases (as of August 15th 2020) of the Fluidigm® Helios™ mass cytometer and Hyperion™ Imaging System will come with a free one-year license* for FCS Express™ 7 Flow to go from mass cytometry data acquisition to rapid data analysis and report creation.
* Free licenses are for non-commercial use. Free licenses do not apply if you use the product in connection with any commercial activities, which include (without limitation) use of the product in connection with any services that you provide to your clients or customers, regardless of the manner in which you are compensated by those clients or customers
Why FCS Express?
- Other Software simply produces basic plots and statistics
- With other software packages you only get basic plots and statistics which requires you to copy and paste to external software packages to create a final result. In some cases, you may be using multiple external tools to generate spreadsheets, graphs, PowerPoint presentations, figures for publication, and R† scripts before you arrive at a final result.
- FCS Express is a fully integrated analysis, statistics, graphing and reporting tool for GETTING RESULTS -With FCS Express analysis IS YOUR FINAL RESULT!
- FCS Express utilizes integrated spreadsheets so your graphs and statistics update as your gates change. All graphics are directly exported to PowerPoint in high resolution and you can even choose to export individual graphics at up to 700 DPI for the ultimate ease in moving from analysis to publication ready result.
Additional Features:
- Speed
- FCS Express has some of the fastest native calculation speeds for large and highly multiparametric data sets.
- Including data loading
- SPADE - https://expert.cheekyscientist.com/flow-cytometry-spade-programs-speed-test-results/

Press Release
August 4th 2020
Fluidigm Corporation (Nasdaq: FLDM), an innovative biotechnology tools provider with a vision to improve life through comprehensive health insight, today announced a distribution agreement with De Novo Software™ to provide customers with access to a data analysis solution for the high-parameter data files generated by mass cytometry using De Novo’s FCS Express™ 7 Flow software.
Under the distribution agreement, new purchases of the Fluidigm® Helios™ mass cytometer and Hyperion™ Imaging System will include a one-year license for FCS Express 7 Flow for suspension data analysis. FCS Express enables rapid generation of analysis reports, manual or semi-automated high-dimensional analysis tools and custom report templates. De Novo Software has been a leading provider of cytometry analysis tools since 1998 and provides data analysis solutions for flow and mass cytometry and for Imaging Mass Cytometry™.
FCS Express Flow, De Novo Software’s flagship product, is a popular cytometry analysis solution widely used by clinical, academic and pharmaceutical institutions. FCS Express Flow provides the flexibility to design custom analysis templates, with streamlined outputs into Microsoft® Office applications, while maintaining high-resolution graphics and reports.
“There are more than 1,000 significant publications based on mass cytometry, a technology that provides researchers with extraordinary capabilities in interrogating the tissue microenvironment to explore important questions in developmental biology, disease progression and response to therapy,” said Chris Linthwaite, Fluidigm President and CEO. “In order to fully realize the value of these rich datasets, novel analysis methods are essential. We are pleased to offer our customers access to the considerable capabilities provided by De Novo’s software solutions.”
FCS Express combines analysis capabilities, statistical applications and high-dimensional data reduction software in a single product.
“Fluidigm mass cytometry technology is the perfect partner for FCS Express,” said David Novo, President of De Novo Software. “Fluidigm continues to push the boundaries in high-parameter cytometry data, and FCS Express has all the high-dimensional data visualization and analysis tools required to handle such data without the need for researchers to become biostatisticians or software coders. We are pleased to collaborate with Fluidigm to provide researchers with new and more powerful insights.”
