FCS Express Features
FCS Express focuses on turning your flow cytometry and image cytometry data into results.
FCS Express empowers you with rapid data analysis using industry-leading tools, creating publication-ready plots, providing advanced gating tools, and more. Get to your results faster with direct export to PowerPoint , PDF, Excel, Word, and high-resolution image formats.

Feature Highlights
Pipelines in FCS Express are a set of data processing steps that stand alone or are connected in series. The output of a step can be applied to a data file or utilized as the input of the next step, or series of steps, that may be applied to your data. No plugins, no programming, just results!
The vast majority of commonly used algorithms for data analysis are actually pipelines, with tSNE (and its variants) and SPADE being two examples. However, when those algorithms are implemented as a one calculation, user customizations are limited to the what the specific implementation allows. Pipelines in FCS Express increase the computational flexibility and granularity of running algorithms and data transformations while giving users the unique ability to create their own transformations.
A pipeline is made of individual data processing steps with each step performing a specific calculation/transformation.
Pre-defined pipeline steps (FlowAI, FlowCut, FlowSOM, SPADE,...) make accessing commonly used algorithms and data processing steps easy. | ![]() |
