Compensation in FCS Express

With FCS Express you don't have to throw data away just because it was improperly compensated on the instrument. You can compensate your data directly on your analysis computer. FCS Express automatically calculates your compensation once your files are added.  Any adjustments to the auto-created gates and markers will result in real-time updating of your compensation matrix.  FCS Express allows you to have many compensation sets defined for the same layout. That means that you can have files from different days open in the same layout, and each of them can be using a different set of compensation settings. You can also store your compensation settings directly with the FCS file or in the layout, so that every time you load up your data, the proper compensation will automatically be applied.

FCS Express provides two convenient ways to compensate your data. Jump to Automatic Compensation or Manual Compensation.
