De Novo software has collaborated with many imaging vendors to establish import compatibility for FCS Express.

FCS Express imports images, image analysis results, and image segmentation information from various instruments and image analysis packages to analyze data, create visualizations, and produce customized reports. While FCS Express is compatible with many formats, if there is no current compatibility for your image analysis results, you can likely work through an intermediate to generate files compatible with FCS Express.

FCS Express is compatible with the Image Cytometry Experiment data format (ICE Format), which is open to any producer of image cytometry instrumentation or software to standardize image cytometry data for import into other platforms. Please read more about the Image Cytometry Experiment Format, and view specifications on the ISAC Data Standards webpage.

In some cases, import compatibility with a single image analysis packages enables compatibility with many image formats (e.g. CellProfiler using Bio-Formats). In other cases, direct import of analysis results or links to imaging databases have been developed with specific vendors.
