A rich analytical environment for flow cytometry experimental results

Int J Bioinform Res Appl. 2006;2(1):52-62. doi: 10.1504/IJBRA.2006.009193.

Abstract

Existing analysis tools for flow cytometry data offer specialised but limited functionality. This work presents advantages of combining the cytometer's data with sample-specific information. Data is loaded into a relational database, where the analyst can query based on sample characteristics such as species, gender, diet type or sample stain type.
