It has a lot of great software on it that we have found really useful. The page gives a good overview of many different types of resources.

Even though this paper is several years old at this point, most of the software they reviewed has not received any updates since they published this, so most of their points still apply.Īnother often-cited resource for free flow cytometry software information is J. (2014) took a look a 4 different free software applications in a paper you can find here. There are a couple of other places to find reviews of free flow cytometry software. We are here to go through the biggest and most complete free flow cytometry software available and discuss their pros and cons.
There have been several projects that have sought out to create a free software analysis package for FCS files. Given the importance of flow cytometry to so many different scientific fields in today's world, analysis software that is usable by all should exist. This is acceptable for large labs and big companies, but smaller groups who are more limited on resources may not be able to use them. Even with a paid license, there are usually limits placed on the number or location of computers that the software can be used on. Most of the time the price is so big that they don't even put the quote on their website.
Unfortunately, they cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. There are many great commercially available software applications that allow not only for data visualization but also advanced statistical analysis of the data. Easy free ways to view flow cytometry FCS files are not.
