How can I load MACSQuantify files that were exported from MACSQuantify software version 3 (e.g. 3.0.1, 3.0.2)?

MQD files exported from version 3 of MACSQuantify software are compatible with FCS Express. Utilizing the instrument specific settings below will ensure data visualizations between MACSQuantify and FCS Express are equivalent.

You may load an MQD file or a FCS 3.1 file into FCS Express. If exporting an FCS file from MACS Quantify software, please ensure that your MACSQuantify Options are set to use FCS 3.1 as the Export type. These options in MACSQuantify version 3 can be accessed via the Edit tab>Software>Export>FCS.

Please note: "FCS 3.1 compatible" and "Custom" options in MACSQuantify version 3 should not be used as these options are intended for special use cases and may result in inaccurate results or visualizations in some third party software tools, including FCS Express).
