A result of almost two years of intensive effort, FCS Express
Version 3 is almost a completely new product compared to Version 2. The
user interface has been completely rewritten in order to provide a
modern Look-and-Feel that is usually only found in sophisticated
software packages, such as the Microsoft Office® suite. FCS Express
Version 3 has been designed to give you all the flexibility and
professionalism found in high quality presentation and publishing
software without sacrificing the wealth of the data analysis
capabilities that Version 2 possessed. In fact, the analysis
capabilities have been substantially enhanced, with new features
including hierarchical gating and new statistics.
FCS Express version 3 is both a sophisticated presentation and
analysis flow cytometry software package. It will no longer necessary
to copy flow cytometry plots from your flow cytometry analysis software
and paste it into word processing or presentation software: it can now
all be done within one package.
FCS Express version 3 is completely backwards compatible with version 2 and can read all version 2 layouts.
