In reply to your question: I have no experience CellQuest. But I do have experience with ELITE software and WinList. My experience with the ELITE software is with the standard DOS version. With the caveat that 3rd party ELITE for Windows software exists. And, I understand, Coulter is readying their own version of the software for Windows 3.1 or '95, I will share my views. In general there are 3 major reasons to choose WinList over Elite software (DOS version). First is versatility. WinList allows the user to create any number of 1,2, or 3 parameter displays of any size anywhere on the screen. They can be shaded, line-drawings, big dots, little dots, etc. WinList allows complex gating logic and complex calculated parameters. The user can change the names of the parameters, the channel resolution of the histograms, can create color eventing on single parameter histograms as well as dot-plots. The second major reason is that Winlist runs under Windows (either 3.1 or '95). This allows the user to cut and paste with other Windows programs to create presentation graphics and link calculations with spreadsheets such as Excel. And third, WinList will analyze data from virtually any instrument. So those of us that have both BD and Coulter cytometers can use one analysis package for both.
