Statistic Classifier tokens are limited to the Clinical version of FCS Express as they are more widely used by labs doing clinical types of analysis than those doing research assays. These types of tokens can be used to augment your quantitative assessments by classifying various statistics, such as the fluorescent intensity of an individual stained marker into standardized ranges such as "negative," "dim," "moderate," or "bright," based upon your hematopathologist's defined criteria.  Statistic Classifier tokens automatically can evaluate the results of other tokens used in your layout, such as interpreting a custom ratio token as "normal" or "abnormal," based upon your lab's own cutoff ranges.

In the example below, a Statistic Classifier classifies a sample based on the % viable cells, which updates as the quadrants are repositioned. Watch as the Sample Quality value evaluates to "Good," "Suboptimal," or "Unacceptable," depending upon the placement of the quadrants' central vertex. 

In FCS Express, you can control which font style and color are displayed by any token based upon that token's value or result. Flag out of control values in bright red text while displaying acceptable results in another color or font. Enhance or color-code your assay results to improve and facilitate validation and review.

A classifier token has been applied in the sample below to display the number of events as normal, high, or low. Notice how the font color and type automatically changes when resizing the gate.

While pages of a layout may be set manually to always or never be visible, tokens may be used in conditional statements to make pages appear and disappear automatically.  Create hidden pages for your add-on markers or reflex testing that will automatically become visible in your layout based upon a particular statistic or conditional criteria occurring during your analysis. For example, a page for an add-on tube may be hidden for Marker "B" until Marker "A" exceeds a preset limit.  Once exceeding the limit, the page for Marker "B" will appear, allowing you to continue your analysis.  Alternate report pages could be set to appear depending upon patient sample types.  You control when to see what you need by creating your own custom definitions with tokens from your own data.

In addition to the tokens used to export statistics and keywords from FCS Express into reports, they may also be used to control when an action is active for batch processing.  For example, you typically may export a JPEG image of FSC vs SSC plot.  However, on occasion, you may want additional JPEGs of other plots to be created.  You may create custom conditional tokens to define when a certain plot should be included in the export.
