FCS File Keywords

Easily Access, Edit, and Use Keywords

FCS Express provides easy access to the information stored within your .FCS files.

A flow cytometry FCS file contains a section known as the header which contains information about the data, including the names of the parameters, the amplification method, acquisition date and time and many other information. With other software packages accessing this information can be tricky and using it annotate your analysis can be even harder. FCS Express allows you to view, change, and use any of the information contained in the header and to save the changed information in with the file.
