New and Improved Interface for Figure Dimensions
If you’ve logged into Cytobank recently, you will have noticed some changes with the Figure Dimension interface. We’re excited about these changes, which we think will make building your plots even faster and easier than before. We briefly discussed these changes in last month’s release notes and elaborate on them in this blog post.
What do you think of the new interface? Please let us know in the comments below or email us at helpdesk@cytobank.org.
Naming and Exporting Files in Diva
Many of our users upload data to Cytobank that were collected on a BD Biosciences flow cytometer using BD FACSDiva™ software. In this post, we will walk you through how to harness the power of naming files in Diva to facilitate analysis on Cytobank and how to export FCS files from Diva for upload to Cytobank.
Detailed naming of sample files in Diva gives you a special advantage unique to Cytobank’s analysis environment. When you upload files to Cytobank, our servers will automatically categorize your files for ease of analysis when you annotate Figure Dimensions. This automated categorization enables you to rapidly generate well-annotated plot layouts and figures. Watch our YouTube video demonstrating this feature!
Upcoming Meetings: July – September 2011
