Basic Tutorial [- Demo data -]
The Basic Tutorial gets you up to speed quickly with key concepts in FlowJo. A common titration experiment is used to demonstrate some of the basic analysis features of FlowJo. You can watch one of our application scientists demonstrate the Basic Tutorial (about 15 minutes), and you can follow along with the PDF (29 graphically enhanced pages).

Basic Tutorial Chapters:
1. Flow data and the FlowJo Workspace.
2. Data Analysis in detail (population gating and statistics).
3. Applying the analysis to Groups of samples.
4. Verifying/modifying gates.
5. Generating a graphical layout report.
6. Generating a table of statistics.

Advanced Tutorial [- Demo data -]
The Advanced Tutorial uses some of the more powerful analysis functions of FlowJo. It demonstrates a 3-color immunophenotyping of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) for multiple patients. In the experiment, 4 different stain combinations are used on each patient:

Stain #

FITC

PE

Cy5PE

1

CD14

CD16

CD45

2

CD3

CD8

CD4

7

CD62L

CD45RA

CD62L

CD45RA

CD8

The same experiment is performed on 2 different days:
4 patients the first day, and
14 different patients on the second day.

Platform Demos Complex Data Sets and Tech Notes:

Compensation [- Demo data - Tech Note ]

  • This data set provides an introduction to performing compensation using FlowJo. For more information on FlowJo's Compensation platform, click here For Mac - For Windows .

Cell Cycle [-Demo Data - Tech Note ]

  • This simple example illustrates how to perform Cell Cycle analysis. This data set is comprised of five files, collected at various points after synchronization of a cell line. Tree Star thanks Tom Delohery for kindly providing this demonstration data set. For more information on FlowJo's Cell Cycle platform, click here For Mac - For Windows

Proliferation [ - Zip data - 315 Kb]

  • These samples were stained with CFSE, an intracellular dye used to measure cell proliferation, and then cultured for three days. With each cell division, the CFSE is divided between the two daughter cells. Therefore the amount of CFSE fluorescence shows the number of divisions any given cell has undergone.

Kinetics [ -Demo Data - Tech Note ]

  • The example data set demonstrates several features of the sophisticated kinetics platform that FlowJo provides. Cells were loaded with Indo-1. Collection for 30 seconds was performed to establish the baseline calcium concentration (related to the ratio of the Indo-1 fluorescences); then anti-CD3 was added. Within about 1 minute cells begin to respond by fluxing calcium; the Indo-1 emission ratio changes substantially over time.

Calibration [-Demo Data ]

  • This example illustrates how you can calibrate a parameter based on a standardized set of beads. For more information on FlowJo's Calibration platform, click here For Mac - For Windows

Full Immunophenotyping [-Demo Data ]

  • The Full Immunophenotyping data set serves as an example of how a large experiment is analyzed and how the analyses are organized by FlowJo. The analyses depend largely on the "Group"-based operations in FlowJo, where entire sets of samples (i.e., all tubes with the same stain combination) are gated identically.

Complex Analysis [-Demo Data ]

  • There is only a single data file in this example. It is a collection of 300,000 events of PBMC stained with 8 different antibody conjugates. The reagents used in this experiment are: Cascade Blue anti-CD3, FITC anti-CD11a, PE anti-TcR gd, Cy5PE anti-CD45RA, Cy7PE anti-CD62L, Texas Red anti-CD4, APC anti-CD57, and Cy7APC anti-CD8. The goal in this stain was to identify fine T cell subsets.

11 Color Demonstration [ -Demo Data ]

  • The PBMC sample in this collection was stained with 11 different antibodies: FITC anti-CD28, PE anti-CD49f, Cy5PE anti-CD11a, Alexa495 anti-CD62L, APC anti-CD45RO, Cy7APC anti-CD57, Cy7PE anti-CD4, Cascade Blue anti-CD45RA, Cascade Yellow anti-CD3, Cy5.5PE anti-CD27, and Cy5.5APC anti-CD8. The goal in this stain was to identify fine T cell subsets.

Large Data Files [ -Demo Data ]

  • A single PBMC sample was stained with antibodies to CD3, CD4, and CD8. The sample was collect four times, with increasing numbers of events: 1000, 10,000, 100,000, and 1 million. Using these data files, you can explore how different types of displays can be dramatically different even though essentially the same data is being viewed.
