Collaboration

De Novo Software and Thermo Fisher Scientific have recently announced a distribution agreement where new purchases of the Attune NxT Flow Cytometer will be provided with a free one-year license of FCS Express 7 (all new instrument purchases since November 1st 2020 are eligible). The collaboration has also enabled the teams and De Novo Software and Thermo Fisher Scientific to work more closely together ensuring joint customers a seamless experience moving from acquisition to results.

Support for the BigFoot Spectral Cell Sorter data sets is here!

Data files from Bigfoot Spectral Cell Sorter are fully compatible with FCS Express 7. The FCS Express 7.16.0035 release enables new instrument specific settings for both types of BigFoot instrument data exports. Please update to the latest release and ensure you have reset your instrument specific settings to default to enable the compatibility  so everytime data files are loaded into FCS Express, the data will appear exactly as it did at acquisition.

Application Examples

Phenotyping of cells is a common application in Flow Cytometry. FCS Express makes it easy to move from acquisition to a final result with your cell phenotyping data from the Attune cytometer with was to conveniently report all cell type subsets, calculate custom statistics, and display data in bar charts for visualization.

Press Release

Eugene, OR., (June 30, 2020) – Thermo Fisher announces it will offer FCS Express software capability with its Invitrogen™ Attune™ NxT Acoustic Flow Cytometer System.

The Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer is able to acquire data at rates 10x faster than traditional flow cytometers therefore generating large high parameter data sets. Partnering with FCS Express Software from De Novo Software allows our customers to easily compare results across samples, access advanced tools ( i.e. SPADE, Cluster analysis, tSNE) for complex analysis, and simply produce publication quality graphics at the time of instrument installation. Attune NxT customers will find the FCS express software to be easily integrated into their lab as FCS express uses a similar interface. The Attune NxT flow cytometer is one of the fastest flow cytometers on the market and adding FCS express software allows data analysis to be just as quick. The pairing of instrument and software offers the customer one complete workflow from sample to final result. With the purchase of a new instrument, Thermo Fisher Scientific will offer a 1 year renewable license to all non-commercial Attune NxT customers at no charge. Existing Attune NxT customers will be able to purchase a 1 year license from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
