Automated analysis powering consistency in your flow cytometry readouts
Customized Express Modes – the bespoke solution for flow data handling
The Express Modes are algorithm-based analysis tools to standardize and expand the capabilities of the MACSQuant® Analyzer Family of flow cytometers. The menu of readily available Express Modes (Included and Add-on) continually grows to accommodate today’s flow cytometry demands. For those user-specific workflows which may require dedicated features, parameters, or settings, Customized Express Modes are the ideal fit.
Customized Express Modes are developed by a team of experts to fit to your workflow and optimally fulfill individual flow cytometry analysis requirements such as:
- Automated acquisitions and analysis
- Customized statistics tables
- Report file in format of choice
Customized Express Modes standardize your flow cytometry analytics to generate reliable, reproducible, and user-independent results.
Compare the three forms of Express Modes in the table below. Check here to see if your MACSQuant Analyzer already includes an Express Mode to meet your needs or if an Add-on Express Mode is the right fit here.
