Hi,

I recently joined this group after hearing about it at the 9th Annual
Clinical Course in Flow Cytometry in Chicago...

I use a BD FACScan and collect data with Consort 30 or FACScan Research on
the old HP computer. I had also been using Lysis software for analysis,
but I recently learned how to transfer data to the Mac (or IBM). Today I
had the opportunity to test the new Cell Quest software on a Mac, and
although I had not spent a lot of time with it, I was fairly disappointed.
Maybe this isn't the best software for my application? I am looking to do
quantitative analysis (mean/median rather than percentages) with multiple
gates and 2 or 3 color staining, preferably on a Mac. Even if I ever
learn how to get simultaneous multiple gates to work on Cell Quest, the
software seems much more awkward than that on the new Coulter machines.
Can anyone recommend something else? I have a an IBM compatible as well.

Thanks,
Jim Zanghi
