| "My function here at US Labs is to set up a work flow
process for over 200 cases a day company wide so without a doubt I am
choosing FCS Express to accomplish this. In my opinion there
just
isn't another software option for us. I need a user
friendly package that will accommodate our current 5 color analysis as
well as future planned 6-8 color instrumentation, provide high quality
reports for our clients, offer a virtual component for those customers
that want to offer tech only flow or more closely interact with their
patient results and the big challenge is that this has to happen in a
extremely high volume reference laboratory. De Novo Software
has
been able to provide us with the features that we need and their
technical support is extraordinary. I can't imagine a
successful
clinical lab without FCS Express; it is the "go-to" Clinical package." Horacio Vall, PhD Associate Vice-President Technology & Science, US LABS Director - Irvine, CA |

"The Hematopathology
laboratory of the Shands Hospital at the University of Florida analyzes
numerous bone marrow, blood and lymphoid tissue samples for the
diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma and related neoplastic
conditions every day. We have been using BD's CellQuest and
CellQuest
Pro software for our data acquisition and analysis for many
years. While adequate for acquisition, this software has
several limitations regarding data analysis that recently prompted us
to look for alternative programs for our clinical analytical
work. With the introduction of FCS Express 3, De Novo
Software has provided an analysis tool that is completely optimized for
clinical laboratories like ours. Within a short period of
time, we created a drastically improved analysis protocol in FCS
Express and it seems that every day we discover new features, such as
tokens, alerts, panels, etc. that easily allow us to improve the
quality of the analysis. Above all, I am extremely impressed
with the excellence of the support staff that is always available to
answer questions and courteously and positively responds to
suggestions. In my opinion, FCS Express is one of the best
programs available today for clinical flow cytometry laboratories."

| "A major decision in
our
choice of software packages was dictated by how well we thought it
would integrate with our report writing software (MS
Word.) It is my impression that FCS Express does a
better
job with interfacing with other widely used software programs than the
two other programs that we evaluated. It is hard to
put
into words, but FCS Express also seemed to have the look and feel of
what I thought a "clinical" software program should be.
Currently
we spend excessive time in clerical tasks of transferring numerical
values into our reports. In
comparison with the other programs we reviewed, FCS Express seems to
better suited to handle these repetitious tasks that are a big part of
our clinical work and help separate this application from the
needs of a "research" user. In short, the
"automation"
features of FCS Express seem stronger which are important to our
clinical laboratory. Currently there is a labor
tight
market for qualified personnel in our area and we find it hard to
attract technicians. Moreover it often takes years to fully
train
a technician. By using FCS Express anticipate shortening the
training cycle by allowing our technicians more time to focus on the
more demanding tasks in flow cytometry and less on clerical busy
work. We are currently using DiVa, which is a great data
acquisition program, but it does have serious limitations when used for
routine data analysis and report generation thus leading to our
decision to purchase FCS Express." Nick Gonchoroff Associate Professor Suny-Upstate Medical University |

| "As a
clinical flow cytometry data analysis service provider,
the most critical tool that we require is high quality data analysis
software. Several experts around the world suggested FCS Express, and
after evaluating the software, I can understand why. The software is
very easy to learn, has extensive analysis capabilities and creates
high quality and attractive reports. De Novo Software's customer
service is exceptional, and they rapidly answered any questions that I
had and helped me resolve any issues that I had. I easily created an
elaborate layout in FCS Express that is completely optimized for my own
personal analysis style. I highly recommend FCS Express for anyone
doing clinical flow cytometry data analysis. " Mariella Monreal President Interpflow |
