The data file structure is indeeed none standard but who is
standard? Since the ISAC organization proposed the FCS format, no one
has taken responsibilty for auditing the different FCS formats produced
by the flow cytometry hardware manufactorers. Therefore there are now
about 20 different "standard FCS format" data circulating around.
Phoenix Flow Systems software reads all of them directly without any need
for file conversion software.
