Often, you will need to share your BD FACSDiVa experiment with others, or present your analysis, or even adjust the gates, but you are not seated at the acquisition machine. With FCS Express, you can easily import your FACSDiVa Experiment file, and then perform all your analysis adjustments, as well as export your analysis to PowerPoint® and Excel®. FCS Express can currently support DiVa™ Layout version 4.0 and above. Our video demonstrates how FCS Express provides a simple and powerful way to read your BD FACSDiVa Experiment files.

Once your Experiment is loaded into FCS Express, you can treat your plots just like a plot created in FCS Express. (For tips on importing your FACSDiva Experiments, click here) In Figure 1 below, you see an Experiment created with BD's FACSDiVa software. Figure 2 shows how the Experiment was successfully loaded into FCS Express.

As you can see, all the gates, quadrants, markers, plots, and scales have been maintained. The following Experiment file elements are preserved when loaded into FCS Express:
  • All acquisition templates and analysis worksheets.
  • The native, high resolution, floating point FCS data.
  • All gates with the proper gating hierarchy.
  • All compensation settings.
  • All markers and quadrants.
Now that your FACSDiVa Experiment is loaded into FCS Express, you can take advantage of all of FCS Express' powerful features, including adjusting the gates, and exporting to PowerPoint® and Excel®.
