Download FlowJo today and flow forward!

Accelerate your discovery with the latest features that come with FlowJo v10.6.1:

  • Spectral compensation allows users who collect more channels than they have parameters to get cleaner data if properly done. In spectral flow, light is collected in all detectors for all parameters and the additional information allows software to separate out the individual colors more precisely.
  • Platform overlays unlock the ability to overlay kinetic, proliferation and cell-cycle plots from one sample onto another or multiple samples.
  • BD and FlowJo continue to support you and your research, from design to discovery. Now with the new BD FACSDiva support, users can import and export gates and compensation directly to a FACSDiva experiment.
