Hello,

Does anybody know if there is any facs analysis software that is compitable to PC ? I am using BD FACScalibor and the CellQuest to aquire and analyse my data on Mac, but would like to find a compitalbe software which I can analyse on my own PC.

Thanks.

hi Katec,

try first WinMDI, newest version 2.8

data aquired on CellQuest (FSC 2.0 format) are fully compatible with this freeware
just run the software and open a new dotplot window from you data files; analysis is as simple as on CellQuest

Hi everybody, I am new here, and I know that this post might be sort of delayed. I was just wondering if this works for Win XP too.
Thanks.

WinMDI

So, a new version is out. How have they improved than before? It's really tedious working with this software - what I don't like the most is I could not save my work.

Hope they will look into that in future.

Dunno about WinMBI2.9 but 2.8 runs well in Windows XP.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I usually work on Flow Jo, I think it is the best SW I have tried till now, but it is installed on one common Mac PC for everybody. I just want to install something to work with on my private PC.

Aren't there anything better than WinMDI? I find that horrible and exhausting. It was made for last century.

hey Nabin,

we are talking about a freeware... not a software at 1000$!
for basic analysis of FCS files, WinMDI is highly sufficient and fast
for saving your results, just copy windows and paste in Powerpoint; data will be ready for presentation and publications

I think that Jo Trotter will be greatful to anyone who could help him to improve the program
unfortunately, I have no enough knowledge in programming to do that
