FCS Express in Clinical Diagnosis

Why did so many people switch to FCS Express?

FCS Express is the only third-party software manufacturer registered with the FDA for IVD use.

Most third party software packages came out of research laboratories and are designed with the researcher in mind. FCS Express Version 3 was designed in conjunction with US Labs, to include many functions that are optimized for the clinical lab.  Clinical labs can also not afford to wait for companies to fix bugs that may result in an incorrect patient diagnosis. That is why De Novo Software has extensive quality procedures that allows us to be registered with the FDA for IVD use. No other third party software manufacturer has achieved this level of quality. Do you want to trust your clinical results to a research tool? 

Everthing you need for the clinical lab is all in one package.

You do not need separate software programs to generate reports or enhance graphics for your reports or presentations.  You can insert histograms for your Ploidy analysis right into your Acute Leukemia Layout with our MultiCycle AV plug in.  Do you need to perform MESF conversions?  No problem with FCS Express using the Channel Calibration tool.  You can analyze FCS files from any cytometer in FCS Express, no need for multiple analysis programs.  

Publication Quality Reports.

FCS Express integrates your flow analysis with the most sophisticated reporting engine available. Your analysis is also a professional quality report that can be distributed to clients and pathologists alike.  There is no longer any need to trade off reporting capabilities for analysis features.  Flexible formating allows you to create exactly the report you want.

Easy to use

Most flow cytometry analysis packages work in their own unique manner, requiring training and experience to become proficient in the software. In contrast, FCS Express works similar to the familiar Microsoft Office™ products like PowerPoint™ and Word™. This means that almost everyone who comes to FCS Express will be familiar with it. This minimizes training costs and allows users to focus on analysing the case instead of learning to use the software.  Click here for more information about FCS Express' familar user interface.

Efficiency.

Many labs have cut down their average analysis time by using FCS Express, in some cases by as much as 50%. This is because FCS Express is full of features designed specifically to improve efficiency in the clinical laboratory. Common analysis tasks are automated, and special features allow you to obtain the high quality analysis that you need in a fraction of the time. Core functionality such as gating, statistical calculations, compensation and other computer intensive tasks are highly optimized to provide a responsive program no mater how many cells and tubes you are analysing.

Highest Possible Accuracy with Built in Quality Control.

Improve quality and eliminate careless errors by incorporating Tokens to automatically generate results during analysis. Create custom tokens to perform classic calculations such as averages and ratios as well as more complex equations such as lymphosums, absolute counts, and control ranges.  Patient information or keywords can be automatically extracted from your data files, no need to manually enter data.  Create your analysis layouts with pre-defined QC checks built right in with our Alert tools.  Flag techs to suspicious results or to reflex additional testing as pre-defined conditions indicate.  Perform automatic checks to ensure patient data files match when analyzing multiple files in leukemia/lymphoma panels avoiding any careless mistakes. When maximum efficiency is your top concern don't let the quality of your work pay the price.   Click here for more detailed information about the quality control features in FCS Express.

Direct LIS Integration promotes the paperless workplace.

The De Novo Software staff have extensive experience integrating with a wide variety of LIS systems.
