BD Accuri CFlow® software has an intuitive user interface that was developed based on hundreds of hours observing researchers using flow cytometers.
As a result, most flow cytometry users find it so easy to use, they are collecting and analyzing data in less than an hour. Software options and instrument controls are clearly visible from the software’s tabbed interface which enables access to the collection, analysis, and statistics functions.
Data is acquired from the Collect tab. You can create new plots, hide or delete plots, or copy and re-use plots from this tab. The software supports a full range of selection regions including rectangular, polygon, quadrant, horizontal, and vertical markers. Up to 96 samples can be collected in a single data grid.
The Analyze tab displays plots and samples in any combination. In the Analyze tab, users can create color histogram overlays, print multiple plots, and compare samples. Use the Zoom tool to magnify areas of data, instead of voltage adjustments to set the channel range viewed, to better visualize results.
Sample data can be customized in the Statistics tab. Data is displayed in a master table, and statistics can be easily copied and pasted into spreadsheets to facilitate reporting. To simplify creating presentations, plots can be imported into Microsoft® Office® applications using drag and drop.
BD CFlow® software supports live gating, event coloring, export of publication-quality, vector-scalable graphics, batch analysis, and the creation of PowerPoint® and Excel® files. An optional user tracking feature is also available.
BD Accuri CFlow files can be exported in FCS 3.0 format for seamless importing of user data into flow cytometry analysis programs including FCS Express and FlowJo.
