Highlights of the Cytobank Blog
As the end of 2011 approaches, we thought we’d take this opportunity to highlight posts from earlier days.
The Cytobank Story – Read about how the need for dynamic summaries of experiment results linked to the underlying single cell data resulted in the creation of Cytobank.
Cytometry in the Cloud – Advances in flow cytometry now enable researchers and clinicians to simultaneously measure a large number of cellular parameters. Learn about how doing cytometry in the cloud with Cytobank can accelerate data analysis, foster collaboration, and provide data back-ups.
Mass Cytometry: Vaporizing Cells in the Name of Science – Learn about mass cytometry, where antibodies are conjugated to element isotopes instead of fluorphores, increasing the number of cellular parameters that can be assayed in one sample tube. Access the raw data from a Nolan lab dataset published in Science this year, and try your hand at analyzing mass cytometry data yourself!

Clear the Clutter: Organize Your Experiment Inbox
You probably don’t intend your experiment inbox to be a frenzied mess of experiments resembling your lab bench after a long night at the flow cytometer. Luckily, we have provided you with a number of tools that give you the power to efficiently manage your experiment data. In this post, we’ll highlight some of these methods of organizing and filtering your experiments. Consider this a supplement to our previous post on Future-Proofing Your Data!
Public experiments and Archived experiments are flagged with "P" or "A," respectively.
The Experiment Inbox is the first page on which you land when logging into Cytobank. By default, you will see “All Experiments,” including public experiments (denoted with a ‘P’), experiments you uploaded, experiments shared with you, and your archived experiments (marked with an ‘A’). You can change your default inbox view on your Profile page (click the Profile link at top of the experiment inbox, and then click “Edit”), for example if you wanted to display only “My Experiments” every time you log in.
